Default SaveAs Dialog Arguments

Hi Matt
first question: Your current drive is not C:? So you may change the
code to
Sub foo()
Dim fileSaveName
Dim path as string
.....
ChDrive "C:"
ChDir "C:\"
fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
InitialFilename:=fileToOpen, _
fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")
If fileSaveName < False Then
MsgBox "Save as " & fileSaveName
End If
....
end sub

The lines
If fileSaveName < false then
msgbox " Save as " & fileSaveName
end if

are just 'dummy code'. The If clause checks if you have pressed 'OK' in
the dialog and if this is true displays the filename (without doing
anything else). You have to adapt these lines to your specific needs
(save the file, etc.)

Thanks Frank. I have a couple of questions. What does the following
do?
If fileSaveName < false then
msgbox " Save as " & fileSaveName
end if

Also, when I put in the ChDir "C:\" it changes it to lowercase. Is
this normal? Even with this in the code, it doesn't seem to work
right. It still goes back to the last accessed directory. Thanks
for your help. Matt
