Using the Save Dialog

12 New Member
Hi,
I am using in JS the save dialog:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. window.document.execCommand('SaveAs', true, "NewFile");
the save dialog appears,
but in the combo box of "Save as type" there's only html.
I want to know if I could put there different file types, like txt, xls...
and how...

Thanks for helping!

I don't think there is. In fact, in some versions of IE, if you specify a non-text file, it will not even work without a hotfix. It also goes without saying that this works in IE only, so should be avoided if possible - it's better to go server-side.

usually you can simply specify a file extension in the filename box of a saveAs dialog, over-riding what the type combo says.

I tried to update the links by changing the Connect property and refreshing: Set td = db.TableDefs(0)...

Hello there, I have a front end database that I have recently made very many changes to to allow off-line use. I keep copies of the databases on my hard drive and link to them rather than the live databases on the network. Is there a way, via code, when I get back in-house from being on the road to click a button, and select the backends I want to link to? I would want to delete all the current links and link to the "live"
