Hi this should be easy.

My workbook has 5 worksheets. I use a macro to delete rows from a
worksheet.
When its done deleting id like to save the workbook with a different name
(in
the same folder where the original workbook is).

the name should be the original workbooks name and " - student1". Can
somebody help me with the code?

Also I'd like to know if - after the new workbook is saved - there is a
way
to revert to the original workbook, delete different rows from the
worksheet
and then save it again with the original workbooks name and " - student2".
Is
this possible?

Any help apriciated.

Steven.
