"What is the big deal? If I can SAVE the file easily I should be able to SAVE AS easily too. It's just adding the ability for the user to name the file being saved." - ME

"You can already do this. You just want it to be faster than it is. It's not going to get faster, at least not with current technology." - Syd

I guess I don't understand how SAVE AS is a monumental technical challenge compared to SAVE since the only difference is who names the file. That totally baffles me. Since SAVE is already done, then I would think SAVE AS could be done in moments.

And if I could name the file you could eliminate all the code for Back-up and Quickstart. I could just save my own back-up and save my own Quickstart and load them whenever I want like any other file.

So are you saying this is really about the technical difficulty and not a decision to retain control of the file from the user? I don't get the difficulty but it would be good to know the company isn't withholding Save As for some bizarre motive, like trying to prevent users from using it to fix their own gaffes.
