Open Dialog/Close Dialog question

I posted this question last week, but it seems to have disappeared.

How can I use the filename the user picks in Open Dialog and use it as the
default filename in the Save Dialog?

SaveDialog1.FileName:= OpenDialog1.FileName;    doesn't seem to work.

It works fine for me. Show a little more code from using the Open Dialog
until using the Save Dialog....

It should. Show us a small code extract and tell us what actually happens.

I remember that.
Your problem is that you are doing it in the SaveDialog's OnShow event and
that doesn't work.
If you set the FileName *before* calling SaveDialog.Execute then it works.
