Thanks guys, that was helpful!!! BUT... lol the annoying thing is now is
when the button is:

The lazy users have to click to the desired location (which will be in the
same folder)

The path is: M:\Contract\Current\Nationwide\Templates\Project
Brief&SOR\Project Briefs to be Approved prior to sending inc master SOR
Project brief/

Then they type the name of the file in. Is they anyway it can default to
that location and then the users type in the save as name.

Thanks again.

That just gets a path, you have to explicitly save it

Activeworkbook.SaveAs flToSave

Hello Gurus, I am trying to create a macro so when the user clicks the
save
as command box will appear and then they type in the file name and save.

The code below brings the save as prompt up but doesn't save : (

Please help.

Dim flToSave As Variant 'brings up save as dialogue filling in file
name
with Job number
Dim flName As String
Dim flFormat As Long

flFormat = ActiveWorkbook.FileFormat

flName = Sheets("summary").Range("f7").Value & _
" " & Sheets("summary").Range("f8").Value & " " & "CHR for
Monthly Update" & ".xls"
flToSave = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(flName, filefilter:="Excel
Files (*.xls),*.xls", _
Title:="Save File As...")
