Save Directory Path

[Neil]

In MS Excel, "GetTempName" can be used to obtain the path a user would like to save a file to. It brings up the windows standard Save As window and the user can browse his/ her directories and name a file with extension. Upon clicking save the path and filename is returned as a string. This function is not recognized/ available in Powerpoint. What can be use to complete the same operation?

Which version of PowerPoint are you using? PowerPoint 2002 and later support
file dialogs using the FileDialog object of the Application object. For
previous versions (or any version in fact), you may want to use Windows
Common Dialog API to get the effect - http://officeone.mvps.org/ has code
snippets for it.
