Set up a variable and then use that...

---------

Dim strFileName as String

Sheets("DETAILS").Activate
strFileName = Range("B2").Text

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= {ENTER FILE LOCATION HERE} & strFileName &
".xls"
-----------------

This should work for you. You must note that the File location must be in "
marks and must end with a \ bfore strFileName.

I've tried searching, perhaps not long enough, for a pre-written macro
code that, when you save the file as, the filename is automatically the
value in a particular cell of a particular sheet.

I have no experience with macros, and changing the codes I HAVE found
to work for me has been of little success :(

The file is a template for invoices, and on one sheet (named DETAILS)
in cell B2 is the invoice number we enter - so when the file is saved I
want the filename to be that number!

How would I write the code, but then also save it and make sure it runs
whenever the file is open?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks
Alex
