Lee,

It doesn't have to be hard-coded. I was juts trying to show that you could
pre-pend it. Somewhere you have to determine what that path is, so you can
save that to a variable and use that.

Thanks for the reply. However, I should have added that
the path will not always be the same. The file will be
saved to a LAN directory folder that will vary from
project to project. That's why I didn't want to hard code
the path.

Lee,

add the path to the command

ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "C:\myExcel\" & strClient & " "
& "Raw Sample.xls"

I am trying to save a copy of a workbook with name and
save it in the same directory as the current workbook.
My
problem is that Excel is saving it in the default
directory, My Documents. I know in Access, I would use
application.currentproject.path, but this doesn't seem
to
be an option in Excel.

Here is the code I have so far:

Dim strClient As String
strClient = Application.InputBox("Enter client
name")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs strClient & " " & "Raw
Sample.xls"
