Hi Joe, Thank you for the kind remarks on my notes. The reason it looked so drawn out is that I was trying to go through the many different controls and give an explaination of them and their purpose. Really all I do when saving a file is open up the save as dialogue box and type in my file name then press enter to save. The only time you may make this a little longer of a process is when you perhaps wish to save it into a sub folder or something like that.

Is this not bringingthing's backwards.. Great tutorial by the way dont know what we would do without you sometimes.
