Douvid,
You do not use user.Value, as user is a variable not an object with a Value property. Just use user = InputBox("Please enter your username for this computer", "UserName") ThisWorkbook.SaveAs "D:\The Documents and Settings/" & user & _ "/Application Data/Microsoft/AddIns" You can also get the user automatically (I am assuming you have XP, or Win2000?). This function returns it Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" _ Alias "GetUserNameA" _ (ByVal lpBuffer As String, _ nSize As Long) As Long Public Function UserName() As String Dim sName As String * 256 Dim cChars As Long cChars = 256 If GetUserName(sName, cChars) Then UserName = Left$(sName, cChars - 1) End If End Function So you would then use ThisWorkbook.SaveAs "D:\The Documents and Settings/" & Username & _ "/Application Data/Microsoft/AddIns" -- HTH ------- Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks "Douvid" wrote in message ...
