John--

What you need to do doesn't really have to do with InDesign scripting--it's fundamental Visual Basic scripting. Since you got the file name from a CommonDialog control, you can also get the path (that's another property of the control). Since you know the pattern of the file name, you can simply make a new file path using the path + the file name.

I don't have my Windows machine with me (I'm at an Adobe geek get-together in San Jose), so this probably won't be perfect, but try something like this:



myFilePattern = "sampleimage.tif" 
myPath = CommonDialog1.Path 
myFileName = myPath & "02" & myFilePattern 




It's just a matter of combining strings. To generate the file names in a loop, try something like:



myFilePattern = "sampleimage.tif" 
myPath = CommonDialog1.Path 
For myCounter = 1 to 20 
If myCounter < 10 then 
myFileName = myPath & "0" & cstr(myCounter) & myFilePattern 
Else 
myFileName = myPath & cstr(myCounter) & myFilePattern 
End If 




Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Ole
