Hi Mojo,

Not sure what WordBasic code you currently use, but what I posted in the
other thread should set the "Title" built-in document property:
ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTitle)="Report 12-5-10"

Do your users have to fill out the Properties dialog?
In Word 2003, that dialog does not have a wdDialog constant... The needed
constant is 750:
Dialogs(750).Show
If you've set the Title property before, the file name you've given should
appear in the dialog.

You could also intercept the FileSaveAs command, and put your chosen file
name in that dialog before the user sees it.

You could also make doubly sure by checking the file name right before the
file is closed, in a
Sub FileClose()

I haven't done stuff like that for a long time, so I'm probably missing
things.
You should find useful articles and tips on the word.mvps.org site or in the
Microsoft knowledge base, such as maybe
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/SetDefFilename.htm
