I am writing a program that should allow the user to press a browse button to browse their directory and save a text file with the form information they wrote in.

Can someone give me a website or a link to see how this is done!

Thank you!

Here is a chunk of "Save As" code from a menu in one of my apps

Private Sub mnuSaveAs_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuSaveAs.Click

        'prompt for a file name and save the current library to that file

        dlgSave.Filter = "Book Library Files|*.bkl|All Files|*.*"
        dlgSave.DefaultExt = "bkl"

        If dlgSave.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
            SaveBookList(dlgSave.FileName)
            Library = dlgSave.FileName
        End If

    End Sub

dlgSave is a System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog and the name of the file to be saved into is returned in the FileName property. The Filter property restricts the file list to files with the given extensions.
