thank you for the response, and i have also figured out why the application
failed, simply put, i was calling macros, within macros.....which allowed
them to function normally until the file name was changed......then the
application failed error....

thanks for your response...

The code that does the calling might help to see.

i receive this message after attempting to "save as" to a new workbook
name,
it appears that some of the macros are referenced by the original workbook
name and after renaming, the macros no longer function. is there a fix or
workaround or something that i can run/do to fix this problem?

i have templated up a little workbook that will be used on a monthly basis
and saved accordingly.....each month, etc.....so the name of the file will
change......

what have i done or what have i missed..

thanks in advance,

dale
