There is no dropdown field in the example document with that title. There is a heading - Soort besluit - but the associated dropdown is untitled. Is that the field you meant?



If it is then it contains values like - Arbeidstijd: Uitbreiding - which includes an illegal filename character. What exactly is it that you want to include in your filenames.

Sorry for the mix up of the field name.
It is indeed that field.
You do not have to worry about the character ":".
I am going to set Title and Label of this field to "Besluitsoort".
I am also going to change the values so there will be no more illegal file name characters in it.
I want the choosen value to be added as the last part of the filename.

What I did not explain in my previous question is the following.
The macro works great, but the presentation/screen to choose a directory where to save the document is confusing for most of my formusers.
That is why I would like it to be the normal screen that appears when you want tot save a document, but then with the documentname already preset in the "saveas" box, and with the fileformat set to the choice the user has made (pdf or docx).

I hope this makes sense to you.
Thanks for the help so far. I already learned a lot about macro etc.
