Default Save in same folder


Hi, I have some code to save a backup of the workbook. However, for some
reason it automatically saves to My documents every time, whereas I want
it to save into the same folder as the original workbook. The code I
currently have is below. Could anyone tell me what I need to change to
get it to save into the same directory?

Sub SaveWorkbookBackup()
Dim awb As Workbook, BackupFileName As String, i As Integer, OK As
Boolean
If TypeName(ActiveWorkbook) = "Nothing" Then Exit Sub
Set awb = ActiveWorkbook
If awb.Path = "" Then
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
Else
BackupFileName = awb.FullName
i = 0
While InStr(i + 1, BackupFileName, ".") 0
i = InStr(i + 1, BackupFileName, ".")
Wend
If i 0 Then BackupFileName = Left(BackupFileName, i - 1)
BackupFileName = "RMT" & Worksheets("Month
lookups").Range("k1") & ".xls"
OK = False
On Error GoTo NotAbleToSave
With awb
Application.StatusBar = "Saving this workbook..."
..Save
Application.StatusBar = "If you are still reading this you
must be really bored..."
..SaveCopyAs BackupFileName
OK = True
End With
End If

NotAbleToSave:
Set awb = Nothing
Application.StatusBar = False
If Not OK Then
MsgBox "Backup Copy Not Saved!", vbExclamation,
ThisWorkbook.Name
End If

End Sub
