Let's put qwerty.xls in cell A1. Then:

Sub Macro1()
ChDir "C:\"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\" & Cells(1, 1).Value
End Sub

will do a save_as to your top-level directory.

whats the syntax to save a file in a macro but use the file from
within a cell
i.e. if cell A1 is the name I want to save the file as - how do I
reference
that cell from within the macro?
