File Save As.... question

I am building an intranet site for a client that will contain
a lot of Word
documents & Publisher files. The ideas is to have the
real estate agents log
into the site, grab a file and change the file to suit their
tastes. Is
there a way to force the agent to do a "File Save As..." and
make sure they
don't overwrite the file on the server? Two ways I have
thought about:
1. Make the files Read Only, but that still doesn't force
them to save a
copy on their computer
2. Make the whole directory Read Only & write protected
but the problem is
still there.
Any ideas?

If you truly change the attributes of a directory Read Only
then there is no
way a user can overwrite files within that directory.

Excel 2010, file save as Question

I save my file name based on a cell "C35". This Cell is a concatenation and I
have recently noticed that some of the data imported from an xml database
contains illegal characters and Windows won’t save the file. How can I  substitute
windows offending characters with say an underscore before save as?
Dim MyName
MyName = Range("$C$35").Text
If MyName = "" Then
MsgBox ("Verify Save as Filename C35")
Exit Sub
End If
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show MyName, 52<o:p></o:p>
heads up

Because it can be quite difficult to determine what is a legal character and what is not legal how about just restricting to alpha and numeric like the following.
Code modified with better syntax for Like operator since initial post.
Sub KeepAlphaNumeric()
    Dim MyName As String
    Dim i As Long
    Dim strNewName As String
    MyName = Range("$C$35").Text
    For i = 1 To Len(MyName)
        If Mid(MyName, i, 1) Like "[A-Za-z0-9]" Then
            strNewName = strNewName & Mid(MyName, i, 1)
        Else
            strNewName = strNewName & "_"
        End If
    Next i
    MsgBox strNewName
End Sub

HT4718 I have nothing on my Mcintosh HD after trying to install Mavericks. I did save a recovery copy of files however this was also lost. All I now have is a file with a question mark with nothing else happening. What should I do?

Apple recently sent a message asking me if I would like to upgrade to Mavericks which was free. I considered installing after saving a copy of my HD to a WD external drive. I proceeded with the instalation however when it was time to reboot the programme the computer displayed a message that it could not process the request due to errors with the hard drive. The computer then requested that i save a copy and the verify disk and repair disk which i followed and the computer would not repair due to an error. At which pioint I did some research and was told by the IMac to push shift when it starts to enter disk utility and repair the Mcintosh HD. I did as asked however the computer would still not install with Mavericks.
So after many attempts of trying to start over, I was prompted to erase the Mcintosh HD and reboot using the saved copy. At this point all data was lost and all that is left on my computer is a file with a question mark with no way of restoring the HD drive. Could anyone help please?

It sounds like your HD may have died.
If you could answer a few questions it may help figure out what you should do next:
What OS did you have on your computer before you tried to upgrade to mavericks?
Did your computer originally come with installer disks?

TWO CRITICAL BUGS: 1) File, "Save Page As" and 2) right-click the picture and select "Save Image As", both do not work at all in Firefox 27, 28, and 29!

Note: capitals are used only to highlight important words.
PLEASE, TAKE THESE COMMENTS ON TWO CRITICAL BUGS VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BUGS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE SO CRITICAL THAT I CANNOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX UNLESS THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE LATEST VERSION AND THEREFORE I AM FORCED TO REVERT BACK TO FIREFOX 26.
I have Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 26. I could not install Firefox 27, 28, and 29 due to the persistent presence of the two critical bugs described below. I have 8 GB of RAM and an Intel quad-core processor and a lot of hard disk space available.
I installed Firefox 27 and then Firefox 28 a while back and these two bugs described below were still present and now I have just checked again with Firefox 29 by installing it and yet again, these two bugs described below are present!! UNBELIEVABLE THAT THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS ARE STILL PRESENT IN FIREFOX 29 WHEN I CLEARLY INFORMED YOU ABOUT THEM IN THE HELP, SUBMIT LINK OF FIREFOX!!
I am forced to revert to Firefox 26!
First, I use Windows 7 64-bit and I always use Firefox with at least 120 tabs opened. BUT I have 8 GB of RAM, an Intel core i7 quad-core processor and more than 1 TB of hard disk space. Consequently, I do not understand why I would have these two critical bugs.
With Firefox 26, I also have at least 120 tabs opened when I start Firefox and I do not have the two critical bugs described below, therefore I do not believe that the number of tabs is the reason of the two critical bugs that are present in Firefox 27, 28, and 29.
---FIRST CRITICAL BUG:
When I open ANY web page and do File, "Save Page As", the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this web page does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---SECOND CRITICAL BUG:
When I use Google Images, for instance entering model in the search field of Google Images and then pressing enter.
Then I select any picture, open to a new tab this selected picture, then open a new tab by selecting the option View for this picture. Then right-click the picture and select "Save Image As".
Again, the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this picture does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS DO NOT APPEAR WHEN I USE INTERNET EXPLORER 11.
I have no idea if you will be able to reproduce these two critical BUGS but I can assure you that they are not present when I use Firefox 26 and they are present when I use Firefox 27, 28, and 29. More, be aware that I have at least 100 tabs opened but I also have this same number of tabs opened in Firefox 26 and yet I do not experience these two critical bugs when I have Firefox 26!
Once again, these two bugs touch at two vital, critical very basic functions of Firefox and therefore I will NOT be able to use any version above 26 if these two bugs are still present, as they are present in Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!!!
Please, make it a priority to solve these two critical bugs. Thanks.
I did read a post related to the same issues “Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image" | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991630?esab=a&as=aaq
I am still reading it again to try to figure out exactly what the person did to make his problems be solved, as the post is not clear at all on what solved the problems!
In any case, all the suggestions proposed in this post do not work and I surely cannot do a system restore when it is obvious that the two bugs do not appear in Internet Explorer.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10 When I attpemt to use "Tools/File/File Save As" from IE 11 I get a "Adobe Reader is not Responding" and my browser is locked up.

After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10. when I attempt to save an online PDF to my local drive I receive a blank window where I would expect to see file directory structure to save to.
No local directories are displayed for "Saving To", it is all blank. When I try to Close (by clicking X) the "File Save As" box a message pops up on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding" It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
I then need to go Task Manager and stop the IE task. All my browser windows are then closed.
That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.
This was not happening in previous versions of Reader.
Tolls/File/File Save As always worked properly.
I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)

Please don't post the same question multiple times!

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.

SharePoint Library - If I save file from Excel File Save As - then I always get "File already exists. Do you want to replace it?" - Upload works fine though.

Hi there,
In my SP 2010 document library - When I try to save an Excel file from File > Save As menu to the document library it always prompts me "File already exists. Do you want to replace it?" even though the file does not exist in that document library.
To the same document library - if I upload a file then it accepts it all fine.
Any clues why I cannot save files using File > Save As menu?
Thanks.

Hi,
As I understand, the notification pops up when you save an excel file to SharePoint library, while when directly upload file to library, there is no wrong.
Please confirm if the issue occurs to other machines.
Please open Microsoft Office Upload Center on the issue machine, then click settings, clear cache via checking Delete files from the Office Document Cache when they are closed.

If the issue occurs to client, I’d recommend you also ask the question in Excel forum:

Saving a file - Save as type

I would like to have a file-save dialog with the standard drop-down list with pre-defined file types as seen in most programs today. However, in LabVIEW I cannot find a simple way of doing this. Any suggestions?

LabVIEW-guru,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Before I posted this question I was actually contemplating on writing my own VI for doing this. I started the effort but soon I decided to not continue. Why? Well, why did I want this functionality in the first place?
My goal is to have a LabVIEW application that does not shine “I am written in LabVIEW”. With LabVIEW 6i it is almost possible to do this. Almost. I am a Die Hard supporter of LabVIEW and I am more than happy with the power LabVIEW 6i gives me in creating programs for controlling my measurements.
Ok, so what options did I have for this particular application. The obvious solution is to first have a pop-up dialog that asks for the desired format. The program
then uses this information when calling the standard dialog for saving a file. However, doing this leaves behind a sense that this is a home-brew solution. The suggestion you had of writing my own VI seems the best way to do it. But! The listbox, that one needs to list the directory, with its symbols does not look exactly as the windows equivalent. I have not figured out how to get the symbols in color. Also, I faced problem with the dialogring used at the top for selecting higher level directories. It seems that I cannot use symbols in it. Those two problems defeat the purpose by writing my own VI. If I can’t get it to look like a standard save-dialog, I might as well go for the fist solution, which is by far easiest, using an extra dialog asking for the file format.
But who knows... in LabVIEW 7i (?) I might be able to just wire an array of strings to the file dialog to be used for the Save-as-type selection.... If NI is listening...this would be a neat feature!!
Thanks a
ll for being part of DE! It is a big help for us all! /Mikael Garcia

Excel from 50KB to 18MB from Simple File Save As ??!!

See this discussion for more detail and sample files. The files do contain very short macros and are safe - I have viewed them myself:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-excel/excel-2010-limit-number-of-row-and-columns/a37fcf66-b103-49ea-9e4e-65b3fab69824
Basically you take a file created in Excel 2010 or 2013 (and presumably 2007) that is a .xlsm file. Use File Save As and save it as a 97-2003 compatible .xls file, and suddenly it jumps to 18MB in size! Opening the .xls file in 2010/2013 and
resaving it as a .xlsm file (under a new name) will result in it returning to a smaller size, but still significantly larger than the original. In this case the original is 48KB, goes to 18+MB as a .xls file, then back down to 107KB when saved again
as a .xlsm file.
The big question is WHY!! Why should a 48K .xlsm file end up as a 18MB file through no other action besides a Save As to the 97-2003 file format?
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. RAH

I am sorry, but this does not answer the problem - did you read the post I made originally?
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-excel/excel-2010-limit-number-of-row-and-columns/a37fcf66-b103-49ea-9e4e-65b3fab69824
As long as I use the Excel 2000 .xls and save it back as .xls Excel 2010 does not bloat the file, how is this explained when 2010 bloats Excel 2010 .xlsm files saved as .xls files?

Restarted and received a blinking file folder with question mark image.

I left my computer sitting while I was working on homework long enough for the screen saver to come on (I'm not sure exactly how long it was). Earlier in the day, I had to force quit safari and then later it unexpectedly quit several times. While my computer was sitting, it looked like it does when it restarts. I waited until it started to come back up, and instead of coming up to the desktop, it came up with a blinking file folder and question mark. I had not done anything unusual with it, and had not tried to restore it. My dad was working on trying to fix it, and inserted the OS X disk. When the options came up, in the repair feature, the disk could not locate my harddrive. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this problem, and if so how it was resolved. If anyone had any tips or ideas of things I could try that would be great. I can't really get it to an apple store soon, and I'm a student so my computer is very important to me. Thanks.

Mornin' John,
I also have an OWC external firewire drive that I tried to install OSX Tiger to but was told that I could not install OSX Tiger on the external drive.
What Format is that Drive? GUID/MacOS Extended? It should work if the right format.
Is there any way to run Disk Warrior from the external hard drive ... to try and rectify this issue, or at least get my data off the dead drive (if it is so)?
From the external only if you can get OSX installed.
What version is it? Do you mot have the CD?
or from my PowerBook G4
Possibly, with the MaBook in FW Target Mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
If DiskWarrior can't fix it, you might try Data Rescue II...
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).

File save preferences in GB.

Quick question. Just got an external firewire drive. How do I change the file save preferences to get GB to save automatically to the external drive?

There are no preferences, simply create or move your projects to the external drive. --HT

TS1367 My macbook air doesnt turn on, are my files save?

My macbookair doesnt turn on, tried all the reseting stuff, nothing happens. My main question is are my files save? I am a photographer and havent backed up, just got the computer 2 months ago, havent saved the last three weeks up.

Hi
A possible reason for why your macbookair does not turn on is hard drive failure. However based on what you're saying it may not be that? When you say nothing happens what do you mean exactly? Do you hear the boot chime at all when powering it on? When you say you've tried all the resetting stuff what did you try exactly? Have a you tried a PRAM reset?
If you've tried a PRAM reset and you can't hear the boot chime or you depress the power button and absolutely nothing happens then there is a real possibility your data is safe. However, unless you take it to an Authorised Apple Repair Specialist or a Genius Bar at an Apple store, you won't really know.
Seeing as it's only 2 months old I would have gone there first.
HTH?

File save as type showing as GIF in Photoshop CS6

I have a problem/bug. When I save for the web, select my file type ( png,wbmp,jpeg) it displays the file type as a Gif in the lower left eventhough the file saves in the correct format. This is the version from the cloud download. Every file type displays this way?
How can this be fixed?

The original file must be Gif or you have some slices.
On the top of the Save for web dialog press the Two Up button and the orginal will be on the left and the version to save will be on the right.
Could you post a bigger screenshot as it's to tell from the small size you posted?

How do I get rid of the flashing file with a question mark in it?

I wanted to start clean on my MacBook Pro osx 10.9.4. So I did the command r and erased what I thought was the right one. I restarted my computer and did the command r again and what came up was internet recovery. It can't find my internet because it's WEP and I don't know to change it to wpa. So I restarted my computer again and I didn't do the command r but just let it load itself to see what would happen and all I get is a flashing file with a question mark. I don't know what to do. Someone please help me.

Do you get this display?
If so, you have to select an Internet connection. Do not expect quick response time in this mode. All activities in this mode will be lengthy.
Ciao.

I need to reinstall my operating system for 10.5 after seeing a file folder and question mark flashing on my start up screen. Can anyone help me with this?

Hello,
That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
See if DU even sees it.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
