No, unfortunately. At the moment the easiest workaround (sans creating a custom Save dialog of your own) is to bring up the Save dialog, look at the name they entered, and if it doesn't have the right extension, add it and check to see if there's a file by that name already in the destination folder. If so, bring up a custom "do you want to overwrite" dialog. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
