hi,

Atlast i made the coding which i wanted so badly!

here's it for everybody to improvise upon & mk it neat & tidy, short &
sweet!

Pls note: - on worksheet("Sheet1"),
in cells IU65536, i hv formated the cell as number & entered value 0
(starting value)
in cells IV65536, i hv formated the cell as text & entered value '00000
(starting value)

Q1) But i hv a problem, i.e. reg the saving printing & printing part!

If you go thru my code, you will see that each time i save the workbook, it
will create a new copy of it with the "SaveCopyAs" method, which will also
include the below code in every new workbook, thereby increasing it size &
giving way to manipulation by users who do a save as. What i want is,
whenever a user does a saveas or just clicks save icon, only the 1st
worksheet (its contents) should be saved (or copied) as a new workbook with
the UniqID name & it should not include the coding part. the code should not
be there or any other sheets, only sheet1.

i tried using Copy method of Activesheet, but it doesnot let me gv my own
autogenerated name thru coding.
pls note the foll codes not working!

'ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy "C:\Documents and
Settings\eijaz\Desktop\" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Value & ".XLS"

'ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy Filename:= "C:\Documents and
Settings\eijaz\Desktop\" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Value & ".XLS"

'ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").SaveCopyAs "C:\Documents and
Settings\eijaz\Desktop\" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Value & ".XLS"
