As John said you could modify general and saveas or do it programmatically (your mother tongue is also not English so I got your question how to save a copy ) :

use myTable  && Contains a general field
oform = createobject("form")
with oForm
  .addobject("olbW","Oleboundcontrol")
  .height = 420
  .width = 620
  with .olbW
   .top = 0
   .left = 400
   .height = 400
   .width = 600
   .controlsource = mytable.mygenfield    && Embedded doc or xls
   .object.saveas(cFilename)
  endwith 
  .release
endwith
