KABI123,
Welcome to Bytes.
As this is your first post, I've cleaned up your posted code by removing the extra returns and placed the required code tags.
Line 17 is your issue... you've hard-coded the file path and name.

Basic strategy is:

You need to use a counter that will increment.
Use a string variable to build the file and path name to pass to save command.

I'd check for the existence of the file in question too. VB has the DIR function that will allow you to check for the existence of a file or folder etc (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.60).aspx) You can use this function along with the Len to check if the file already exists.

A static global variable would be able to hold the counter value between calls... a dozen other ways to hold this counter.

I'd just like to point out that you've set up a few parameters for a common dialogue control (presumably intending to prompt the user for a file name) but then failed to show the dialogue.
