oops...

Windows(fileNm).Activate

should have read

Windows(NameThatExport).Activate

That's what I get for typing the code from memory rather than copying and
pasting.

I've got a quirky problem. The network admin folks here at my office have a
bit of a strange naming convention for users. If you start as a part timer
you get a username that looks something like pt[loc][initials] so for someone
who is named John H. Smith starting part time at location number 04, his
login would be pt04jhs. The trouble is that if John switches to full time
his username changes to ft04jhs but his userprofile still points to the
directory C:\documents and settings\pt04jhs\. I want to use vba to export
(copy) a sheet from the workbook I'm in to a new workbook, save that workbook
to the desktop, and close that workbook without prompting the user.
(Incidentally, the rest of the naming convention for the file relies on a
combo box on the main menu (frmMainMenu) form called cmbSelectDivision, just
in case you're wondering why that's in there.) Here's my code right now:

dim NameThatExport as string
NameThatExport = "Division" +
frmMainMenu.cmbSelectDivision.Value _
+ ".xls"
Sheets("MyList").Select
Sheets("MyList").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\" + Environ("username") _
+ "\Desktop\" + NameThatExport, FileFormat:=xlNormal, _
Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False _
Windows(fileNm).Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close False


The code works well for users who started full time and remained full time
and for users who started part time and remained part time but for those who
started part time and switched to full time they get no autonaming. Is there
a way to use code to find the desktop other than the way I tried above?
Thanks for your help!
