Default export many sheets to text files

I'm trying to adapt code from http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm to
export 150 spreadheets of data to separate text files.
It seems to work as long as I type the name of each text file into the save
as box. I was hoping someone could show me how to alter the code so that the
name of the text file could set automatically based on either the contents of
cell A1 or the sheet name of the sheet being exported.
Here's what I have so far:

Public Sub DoTheExport()
Dim FName As Variant
Dim Sep As String
Dim m As Integer

For m = 1 To Sheets.Count
ChDir "C:\Documents and Settings\TJ\Desktop\QualDatTEXT"
FName = Sheets(m).Range("A1") 'I know this is wrong-I don't know how to fix it
FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename()
If FName = False Then
MsgBox "You didn't select a file"
Exit Sub
End If

Sep = ","

ExportToTextFile CStr(FName), Sep, False
Next m
End Sub
