Default User defined file name on save

I have a need to save the current workbook as a defined name to a specific
location to avoid users overwriting my template.

Something in the order of:
1. Prompt to create a directory as the current month(Jul06,Aug06,Sept06 etc)
in a specified parent directory located on the server. If the directory
exists it uses it otherwise creates a new one (in other words, the first user
of the month creates the directory)
2. Prompt for Username-1st part of the file name
3. Prompt for processing date-2nd part of the file name.
4. If the file name already exists, offer the option to overwrite.
4. Save the file to this location and a backup copy to another fixed
directory.

The action could be via a macro button or on close.

Cheers
Jim
