Photoshop 7.0 Action

hi,
I have created action in photoshop 7.0, os WinXpPro, to change resolution of a .jpeg file
from 300 px/in to 75 px/in, saving the file to same name It works fine except Save action does
not record JPEG options and the dialog box opens and I have to click on OK
to close and save
the file and therefor I cannot fully automat the batch processing.
Is there some way I can record the Save action so that JPEG options dialog box doens not open.
I tried to click on dialog box square next to Save action in action pallete
but it does not help.

Thanks for the help.

This works for me.
Record a File > Save as… (.jpg) command as follows: Open any test image
RECORD (to modify your existing action)
File > Save as… (.jpg)
specify any folder
Do NOT change the file name
Specify whatever .jpg compression setting you like

Follow this by recording File > Close

STOP recording

In the Batch dialog…
Play [set], [action]

Source: Folder Choose (\whatever)
….x Include all subfolders
….x Suppress color profile warnings

Destination: Save and close
….x Override action ‘save as’ commands ##

Thanks . This works . Is it possible to save files in the same folder, overwriting the files.
