file won't save!
 

Any idea why this line of code won't save the file?? The "Save AS" box comes
up the user hits save and the macro contiunes like nothing is wrong.
However, the file does not save. The vairable fname, which is the default
file name, is working fine!

FileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fname, filefilter:="Excel Files
(*.xls),*.xls")

file won't save!
 

The GetSaveAsFilename does not save the file, it only allows the user to
provide the name of the file to save. After capturing the name with
GetSaveAsFilename you have to actually save the file with another line of
code. See example below:

Sub SaveMe()

Dim strName As String 'Variable for filename
'Get the file name by displaying the Save As dialog box
strName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(ActiveWorkbook.Name, _
"Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls")
'Save the file using the name just captured.
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strName

End Sub

Kevin: thanks! I thought it would simply save the file.
