object.SaveAs([FileName], [SaveFormat], [AddToRecentFiles])

Parameters

Part Description

AddToRecentFiles Optional Boolean. Adds the file to the Most Recently Used (MRU) list on the File menu. Default is True.

Remarks

If a file of the same name and format already exists, that file is overwritten. To avoid overwriting a file, check for the existence of a file before saving.

The SaveAs method invalidates any existing Recordset objects.

For finer control in creating Web pages, use the Add method and then the Save method on the SavedWebPages collection.

For the MapPoint Control, use the SaveMapAs method on a MappointControl object.

Example

    Sub SaveTemplate()

  Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application   Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map   Dim objRoute As MapPoint.Route   Dim objLoc As MapPoint.Location
  'Set up the application   Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap   Set objRoute = objMap.ActiveRoute   objApp.Visible = True   objApp.UserControl = True
  'Create a route   objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA").Item(1)   objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Redmond, WA").Item(1)   objRoute.Calculate
  'Save the map as a template   objMap.SaveAs "Saved Template", geoFormatTemplate, True
  End Sub
