savingStandalone Problem

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Jacquie,
Sorry,
I didn't update the code snippet.  I put the dialogdata into a local  
variable right after coming back from the modal prompt.  I want this  
process to be automated so that's why I don;t use the message box -  
I'd forget to do it!  I could use an "ask" dialog, it's just that my  
prompt dialogs are kinda customised for my application.

In answer to your other reply, what you're doing is exactly what I'm  
doing to display the version in an About dialog, along with the build  
date as well which is also stored in a main stack custom property  
(which works fine!).
