can I write an Excel macro to pause for data entry then continue?
 
I want to create a macro that will choose the MS document printer, which
opens the file, save as dialog box, then go to a folder across anetwork,
pause so I can type the file name, then save, go back to a specific cell in
the worksheet. Any ideas? Thanks.

Look at GetOpenFilename in VBA help, you can browse for the file rather than
type in the name.

Thanks Bob, but I need to change the file name each time the macro runs from
the "saveas" dialog box. Any ideas?
