but I can't see that a Doevents wouldn't help here.
The problem is I have code  in an event  (beforesave), but it's prompting the
user with the saveas dialog  twice. If you have specifics on how the
DoEvents might work, I'd be happy to hear them.

While at this point I've basically given up trying to solve it before
turning over the project, I'm still open to ideas  anyone has on what's
causing that.
