Re: Error checking on SaveAs

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

That's good to know, but what I was really looking for is if there's a way
to get Word to tell you (instead of the user) that an error was encountered
so that you can pop up a message to the user.

That way in case there is something really strange and somehow illegal not
accounted for in this list, it's an extra safeguard.

Thanks;

Amy
