Save a new file with the name that is in cell "C7"
 

Here is what I want to do:
Open up a template. Enter information. Click on save, and when the window
shows up asking me to name the file, I want it to automatically use a file
name with the value in cell C7.

As an example, if cell C7 has "Milton 287-12", I want to automatically name
the file"Milton 287-12" when I save for the first time.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi, Lunker,

Try pasting the following code into a macro sheet and running it with Alt-F8
Change the path to whatever you require between the quote in line 3 and "A1"
to whatever cell you want to use to contain the filename.

Have a good weekend

Sub SaveAsCellString()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"D:\" & Range("A1").Formula, FileFormat:=xlExcel9795, _
Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
