Hello davidsmyth
A piece of code to help you :
var
saveDialog : tsavedialog; // Save dialog variable
begin
// Create the save dialog object - assign to our save dialog variable
saveDialog := TSaveDialog.Create(self);
// Give the dialog a title
saveDialog.Title := 'Save your text or word file';
// Set up the starting directory to be the current one
saveDialog.InitialDir := GetCurrentDir;
// Allow only .txt and .doc file types to be saved
saveDialog.Filter := 'Text file|*.txt|Word file|*.doc';
// Set the default extension
saveDialog.DefaultExt := 'txt';
// Select text files as the starting filter type
saveDialog.FilterIndex := 1;
// Display the open file dialog
if saveDialog.Execute
then ShowMessage('File : '+saveDialog.FileName)
else ShowMessage('Save file was cancelled');
// Free up the dialog
saveDialog.Free;
end;

Many thanks, I'll give this a try.
Hello davidsmyth
Of course you will have to adapt this code to the syntax specific to MVD.
But that shouldn't be difficult, it is written in Delphi and MVD is coded in Delphi itself
Good luck !
