Pulling value from cell to complete path name
 

I'm looking for a way to extract a value from an Excel form to complet
path for SaveAs operation. This what I currently have:

Need to save form as :
sPath = "\\Cpgbyfs03\comrfq\GBY\20\MyForm.xls" (where 20 is a folde
for a specific district)

The thing I'm running into is by specifying the district as part o
sPath, I need to change 17 of these forms each time for 6 macros whe
master form is split into districts (17 districts and 6 approva
locations). Obviously, this would not be very productive.

My first thought was to provide user with input box to enter district
but all users are not computer savy and concern over typos exists.
Cell G10 on the form currently contains a value for that district'
number. What I'm looking to do is insert the value from cell G10 o
active form and make it part of the sPath code so each form will b
routed to correct location on a terminal server.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you have the district number in A1, then something like this should work:

sPath="\\Cpgbyfs03\comrfq\GBY\"&Range("A1").Value& "\MyForm.xls"

Or maybe you could use an inputbox to allow the user to type in the district
code:

DistCode=InputBox("Please enter the district code.")
sPath = "\\Cpgbyfs03\comrfq\GBY\"&DistCode&"\MyForm.xl s"

Something like

sPath = "\\" & Activesheet.Range("G10") & "20\MyForm Cp" & _
Activesheet.Range("G10") & "fs03\comfrq.xls"
