Default Custom save as pathname and filename

Aaron, try:

Sub foo()
Dim sPath$, sFile$, sFull$
sPath = "c:\windows\"
sFile = "text.csv"

ChDrive sPath
ChDir sPath
sFull = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(sFile, "CSV files,*.csv")


End Sub

I have been trying to enter a code into my sheet which will save the
file to a directory on the network using a pre-defined file name. My
filename is a declared string, and is working properly. I can get as
far as:

* Getting the Save As dialogue in the right folder, but with no
filename * Getting the Save As dialogue to show a name, not the right
one, in the last place I saved
* Getting the Save As dialogue to show the completely wrong name in
the right folder.

Assuming I wanted to do this using the GetSaveAsFilename option, how
would I do it? And how would it differ if I wanted an automatic save
where the user didn't have the prompt? The end result would have to
be:

\\server\folder\subfolder\filenamefromstring.xls

Whichever way it was done...!
