hi. this is another branch - you should stay with the original thread if
possible.

try this:

Dim flName As String
Dim flFormat As Long
Dim msg As String
Dim Style As String
Dim sFilename As String

msg = "Are you sure you want to save the Smith quote?"
Style = vbYesNo + vbInformation + vbDefaultButton2


If MsgBox(msg, Style) = vbYes Then

flFormat = ActiveWorkbook.FileFormat

DefaultFolder = "M:\Design\"

ChDrive "M"
ChDir DefaultFolder
DefaultFilename = Range("C1")

'what this for idf you're asking the user to select?
If Right(UCase(DefaultFilename), 3) < "XLS" Then
DefaultFilename = DefaultFilename & Format(Date, "ddmmyyyy") &
".xls"
End If

flToSave = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(flName, filefilter:="Excel
Files (*.xls),*.xls", _
Title:="Save File As...")

If flToSave = False Then

Exit Sub
End If

ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=flToSave, FileFormat:=flFormat

End If
