Get the macro to rename the file after it has been saved.

The following should help. Please note that the file needs to be closed

Dim oldName As String
Dim newName As String
oldName = "c:\temp\book2.csv"
newName = "c:\temp\book2.100"
Name oldFile As newFile

In Windows Explorer, click Tools | Folder Options + View tab and check the 'Hide file extensions for known file types' radio button. If you want this to apply to the whole filing system, clicke the 'Like Current Folder' button also.

Does this do what you want?

Workbooks("theworkbooknamehere").SaveAs "thefilename.100", xlCSV

I can't reproduce the behavior that you are reporting. In my testing from
VBA:

----- VBA Programming Interface:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "Test.100", xlCSV
results in a file with the name of: Test.100

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "Test.csv", xlCSV
results in a file with the name of: Test.csv

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "Test", xlCSV
results in a file with the name of: Test.csv

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "Test.100.csv", xlCSV
results in a file with the name of: Test.100.csv

----- Excel User Interface:
If you save the file from the Excel user interface via the "File SaveAs"
dialog box and you type in:
"Test.100" (i.e. including the double quotes!!!!)
and select "CSV (Comma delimited)(*.csv)" as the file format, then Excel
will save the file with the name:
Test.100

If you save the file from the Excel user interface via the "File SaveAs"
dialog box and you type in:
Test.100 (i.e. No double quotes!!!!)
and select "CSV (Comma delimited)(*.csv)" as the file format, then Excel
will save the file with the name:
Test.100.csv

FYI: I have "Hide extensions for known file types" unchecked in my Folder
Options View.

Can't you make the code remember the variable?

oldname = PathName & "\" & FileName & ".csv"
etc.

Bad idea. This might hide an extension of a virus. If its name is
MyFile.xls.exe, it only looks like MyFile.xls, so you try opening the
workbook and instead launch a virus.
