I am trying to create a macro to save the current document with a
variable filename, which will be in a ASK field.
When the document opens, the macro I have now opens dialogue box to
update all 5 of the ASK fields for the user to input data, then when a
button is clicked it prints to a specified printer. What I need now is
the ability to save the document in the name of the text that is in of
the ASK fields (not a bookmark).

Any ideas?

I would suggest that instead of using ASK fields, let the user enter all of
the data at once by using a UserForm.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:

Hope this helps.
