Rockwell Automation 2706-MB1 MESSAGEVIEW 421 SOFTWARE MANUAL - Manual (Page 118)

6–7 Working with Application Files
Publication 2706-817
The first time an application is saved, its default name is the first
8 letters of the application name.
2. Accept the default or enter another name (1 to 8 characters long)
in the File Name box. MessageBuilder automatically adds the
.MBA filename extension to the name.
Note: You may save the file with another file type (filename
extension). However do not use .MVA, which is used for the
translated form that runs on a MessageView terminal.
3. If a file has already been saved to the name entered in the File
Name box, this dialog appears:
Select Yes to overwrite the file, and No to return to the File Save
As dialog.
4. To save the file to a different directory, select the directory name
in the Directories box. To save it to another drive, select a drive
name in the Drives box.
5. Select the OK button.
The name under which you save the application becomes the
default for the next save (Save or Save As command).
Note: MessageBuilder tracks the date/time and version of an
application when it is saved. Choose Description from the
Application menu to see this information.
When an application has been edited but not saved, its name in the
title bar has an asterisk.
