Automated filenames on save dialog click

(OP)
I know i have seen this somewhere before and now that i really need this i can´t find it anywhere.

I Would like to klick normal save button in SW and if the file has not yet been assigned a filename i want to run my own macro function to ger a unique number from a database and in the end set it as proposed filename in the dialog box.

I don´t want to make a separate dialog and replace the ctrl-s link and buttons becase my coworkers will then mess up and use the wrong method and also save before close would not trigger the function.

I Would really be happy if someone could help me out, our biggest customer dropped a ligistics nightmare bomb today and we have to change our whole way of handling files.
