This is your code I used...I didnt change anything from it

def useSaveASDialog(filePath=None):
    from watsup.winGuiAuto import findTopWindow,findControl,setEditText
    from time import sleep

    rVal = None
    handle = winGuiAuto.findTopWindow("Save As")
    sButton = winGuiAuto.findControl(handle,"&Save","Button")
    sEdit = winGuiAuto.findControl(handle, None, "Edit")
    if filePath != None:
        winGuiAuto.setEditText(sEdit, filePath)
    rVal =  winGuiAuto.getEditText(sEdit)
    winGuiAuto.clickButton(sButton)
    return rVal

So, in the interactive window I make an instantiation of it and this is
what I get

r = useSaveASDialog("C:\Downloads")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\My Documents\python scripts\mytest1.py", line 6, in
useSaveASDialog
    handle = winGuiAuto.findTopWindow("Save As")
  File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\site-packages\watsup\winGuiAuto.py", line 158,
in findTopWindow
    raise WinGuiAutoError("No top level window found for wantedText=" +
WinGuiAutoError: No top level window found for wantedText='Save As',
wantedClass=None, selectionFunction=None, maxWait=1, retryInterval=0.1

So, I fire up IE manually and find a link to click on that brings up
the download window and the first window I run into is the File
Download window with an Open, Save, Cancel, and More Info buttons. I
click on Save and that brings up the Save As window, so from there I go
back to PythonIDE and do the same command in the window and it
PythonIDE crashes. The weird thing is though it puts the path inside
the Filename text box. Just the path without the file. Ill be testing
this more next week, so ill get back with you then. Thanks for the
start though!!
