Default export many sheets to text files

Without knowing what is in cell A1, this is a possibility

Public Sub DoTheExport()
Dim FName As String
Dim Sep As String
Dim m As Integer
Dims sStr as String

sStr = "C:\Documents and Settings\TJ\Desktop\QualDatTEXT\"
chdrive sStr
chdir sStr

For m = 1 To Sheets.Count
FName = Sheets(m).Range("A1").Text
' or FName = Sheets(m).Name
FName = sStr & FName & ".txt"
Sep = ","

ExportToTextFile FName, Sep, False
Next m
End Sub

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
