Author Saving a file with the CommonDialog control

I have seen a lot of code snippets on the web, and everyone without fail does
a little rtb.savefile to the control. I have a .DSR report in VB6 that I am
trying to save to file. The .dsr has its' own interface when the report is
run. It has a print and export feature. Using the Export feature saves the
report in html or text just fine. Is this possible with the commondialog
control. When I try to do a write or print #1 of the filename or filetitle,
it writes only the path name or filename in the file. Any help would be
sorely appreciated.

TIA

The common dialog control doesn't *do* anything apart from getting input
from the user. If you use the control's Save method, it returns a filename.
It's up to you to save the file using this name.
