Sorry I accidentally hit post too fast. Tom. What is the difference between

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show sStr

and

fname = application.GetSaveAsFileName( InitialFileName:=sStr)

?

I am trying to create a button that will pick a value from a specified
cell
and put up a Save As dialog pre-filled with the name of the file as
Value-I-Picked.xls and the suggested path as the path of the workbook I
originally opened.

Where can I find suggestions for appropriate code?
