Hi Mike,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Its a good idea but i tried at first but i found that vba has built in
dialog boxes that will be more user friendly. My theory less typing i have to
do....less errors occur for me and my other users :).

thanks again Mike.

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me on this?

I'm using excel 2003.

I have several sheets that have different statements.

This is what i want to accomplish through vba.

1) I want the programming to automatically retrieve information from the
cell within the sheet that i'm currently working on. (Note: i have several
sheets within the workbook)
2) User will select the directory where they want to save the file but the
filename will automatically be put into the popup dialog box.
3) Save the file automatically as pertaining to number 1.

Is this possible?
I hope you can understand.

thanks
keith

Something like this?

'Ask for a path and then save a copy of the workbook in that path
'using the file name contained on the active worksheet in cell
"B3"

myPath = Application.InputBox("Enter a path to save the file")
If Mid(myPath, Len(myPath) - 1, 1) < "\" Then myPath = myPath &
"\"

ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs myPath &
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("B3").Value
