Looking at assistance to create a SAVE AS button in a form, I am wanting it to pre populate the File Name from a field within the form. Is this possible and if so, how? I have been searching for the answer with no luck.

Use this JS code:

app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

You can't pre-populate the File Name field in the Save As dialog. You can either save the file silently using a specific path (but that requires running the code from a privileged context, such as a folder-level script), or you can open the Save As dialog with the current file name as the default.
