Please can someone tell me the VBA code to prompt a user to 'save as' a file
in excel. the folders will have to be specified...

Look at GetSaveAsFilename in VBA help.

Something similar to this should work

Sub FileSaveAsCode()

Dim fName As Variant

fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
fileFilter:="Excel Workbooks (*.xls), *.xls")
If fName = "" Then ' user [Cancel]ed
Exit Sub
End If

On Error Resume Next
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName
If Err < 0 Then
'user probably cancelled at this point
'as when notified of existing file of same name
'you can either test for errors
'or simply ignore them
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0 ' clear error trapping
End Sub

Try code like

Dim FName As Variant
FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(ThisWorkbook.Name, "Excel
Files (*.xls),*.xls")
If FName = False Then
MsgBox "User Clicked Cancel"
Else
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FName
End If
