HOW DO I AUTO NAME A SAVED FILE FROM A SPEC. BLOCK IN EXCEL?
Firstly, please get your caps lock key repaired so that you can stop
SHOUTING. Secondly, what do you mean by "block" in this context? Do you mean "cell"? Thirdly, if you have some existing method of auto naming the file which is using A1, it may be useful if you explain what method you are using, then we might be able to tell you how to change it. -- David Biddulph "bbrinker" wrote in message ...

HOW DO I AUTO NAME A SAVED FILE FROM A SPEC. BLOCK IN EXCEL?
Sorry, Didn't imply to shout...was drawing in AutoCAD and plots require all
caps. when I spoke of "block" i was refering to cells. I am using the default for saving a file but I would like to choose a cell location for Excel to auto grap and use what ever values are in that cell as its "save as" name. Thx Again.

With your workbook open hit Alt + F11 to go to Visual Basic Editor.
CTRL + r to open Project Explorer. Select your workbook/project and right-clickinsertmodule. Paste the macro into that module. Alt + q to return to the Excel window. Save the file as is then ToolsMacroMacros. Select the macro name and "Run" to save the workbook with the name from the cell you chose. You now have two identical workbooks with different names, the original and the re-named one.

I don't have any idea.
I don't run 2007 so will have to leave your question to someone who can replicate your situation.
