Watch your typing:

You need a colon after the drive letter and is there supposed to be a space
before the " Personal Golf Analyser" portion of the path.


Dirname = "D:\Sandy's Documents\All PGA\ Personal Golf Analyser\" _
& "Personal Golf Analyser-" & inputText

And if you use mkdir to make a folder, then each parent folder has to exist
before you can make the sub folder.

'assuming that there is a D: drive
on error resume next
mkdir "D:\Sandy's Documents"
mkdir "D:\Sandy's Documents\all pga"
mkdir "D:\Sandy's Documents\all pga\Personal golf analyser"
'... and so forth
On error resume next


This also assumes that there aren't any other errors that could happen (files
with the same name causing the mkdir to fail, permission restrictions, space
problems....)

You can create the folder with code first if it not exist

Sub testing()
Dim Dirname As String
Dirname = "D\Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA\" & inputText
If Not DirectoryExist(Dirname) Then
MkDir Dirname
End If
'your save line here
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=Dirname & "\testfile.xls"
End Sub


Function DirectoryExist(sstr As String)
'Tom Oglivy
Dim lngAttr As Long
DirectoryExist = False
If Dir(sstr, vbDirectory) < "" Then
lngAttr = GetAttr(sstr)
If lngAttr And vbDirectory Then _
DirectoryExist = True
End If
End Function

Thanks Ron

I've just had another thought - is it possible to SaveAs to a folder that
as yet doesn't exist. Eg

"D\Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA\(--and then use the "inputText" to
create this folder--)"

Hi
I have a bit of code as part of a 'Sub'- namely:

ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:="PSA-" & inputText & ".xls"

which saves a copy of a workbook to the same folder that the original
was opened from, in this case -

'D:Sandy's Documents\All PSA'.

How can I adjust this to save the file in a specific location eg

'D:\Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA\Excel 95-2003'

Thanks
Sandy
