Alex, Sergey, and All,
I wonder if this problem could be solved using PUTFILE() to force
the proper extension.

save_as_name = PUTFILE("Save this file as:", FORCEEXT(myfile, "PRG"), "PRG")

However, I am not sure how to set up the code to actually do the save
after the PUTFILE() have gotten a file name with extension.
I have the same intermittent problem when I use MODIFY REPORT.
Thanks,
TWH :)
