Title: Re: "Save file with" dialog box

Try adding a close line to the end:

          set myFile to choose file name with prompt "Save file as:"
          save document "ScheduleMaster" in myFile
          close saving no

Wouldn't this work?

set myFile to choose file name with prompt "Save file as:"
--file "Macintosh HD:Users:appleScript:Documents:untitled"

tell application "Quark" to save document 1 in myFile

HTH,

ES

Pretty darn close!

set myFile to choose file name with prompt "Save file as:"
save document "ScheduleMaster" in myFile

does indeed let me rename the file and save it to a destination of my choosing. Thank you!

The only drawback is that one must manually close the open file after the save. It keeps erroring as if I'm asking the "saved version" of the document -- now in its' place on the hard disk -- to close. The only way is to have the script quit QuarkXPress, which I'd rather not do. One can live with manually having to close out the open doc, but this is a tad puzzling. Guess I can live with it, though.
