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"

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
