What do you do when...

[Das Goravani]

I solved my problem by replacing If flag false with If canceled.. 

The If flag false was being activated by the Prompt for print file command.. if you REPLACE a file when you save the flag is set to false… oddly.. and that was going then into if flag false.. nothing was happening because I was quitting method… so If canceled works better for this situation, that is for following a Prompt for print file command.. if canceled is appropriate not if flag false.. 

Thanks for the inputs.. you all are great
