Automatic File Name based on cell content
 

I think I am almost there. The content of A1 is from C11 (text and dat
combine). I got two sheets in the workbook. Sheet 1 name is "data
sheet 2 name is "calculation". The "A1" that I need is from sheet 1
This is what I tried...


Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim CellName As String
CellName = Range("A1")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Document an
Settings\Owner\Desktop\comparable\" & CellName & ".xls"
End Sub

When I pressed "save as", it saves but did not use the file name that
want and it did not go to the folder that I want it to go. Which on
is wrong on the code.

Thanks agai

It looks okay, but try this version

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim CellName As String
Dim FileName As String
FileName = :="C:\Document and Settings\Owner\Desktop\comparable\"
CellName = Activeworkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FilenameFileName & CellName & ".xls"
End Sub


If that fails, insert a MsgBoc FileName & CellName & ".xls" and see what you
get.
