What does "not working" mean?
Please don't post questions with that phrase in it....

However, the dialog displays for me, with and without the ( ) around mname.
I did declare mname as a variant.
The issue probably is cell B6 on your template sheet does not have
a complete file path in it. That would look something like this...
"C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Old Excel Files"

I've created an excel template and now want to propose the filename as
a combination of different cell values.
I used the Sub SaveAs() in word and it worked perfectly. Now in excel
it's not working.

This is what I used in my latest attempt (found on one of the groups):

Sub filesaveas()

mname = Range("b6").Value
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show (mname)

End Sub

It works if I run it from the VBA editor, but as soon as I'm back to
my template, it's not working.
I'm using Excel 2003.

Any help appreciated
