Need Help w/ Code
 

I have a routine that uses the name of the workbook to create a new workbook
for the current month. It has worked perfectly through the year til now.
Maybe it has something to do with the change of the year?

Old workbook name = JOHN REPORT Nov 04 - WB w/macro to create new WB
New workbook name should be = JOHN REPORT Dec 04
Actual name the routine creates now is = JOHN REPORT 04 - with no month.

The code is:

tmpName = Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 10)

Select Case Month(Now()) - 1
Case 1
tmpMonth = "Jan "
Case 2
tmpMonth = "Feb "
Case 3
tmpMonth = "Mar "
Case 4
tmpMonth = "Apr "
Case 5
tmpMonth = "May "
Case 6
tmpMonth = "Jun "
Case 7
tmpMonth = "Jul "
Case 8
tmpMonth = "Aug "
Case 9
tmpMonth = "Sep "
Case 10
tmpMonth = "Oct "
Case 11
tmpMonth = "Nov "
Case 12
tmpMonth = "Dec "


End Select

tmpYear = Right(Year(Now()) - 1, 2)

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Documents and
Settings\Name\MyDocuments\PRC JOHN\" _
& tmpName & tmpMonth & tmpYear, _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False

Any help would truly be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello. January is month 1. So, when you subtract 1, you are getting 0
(zero). Your Select Case is not accounting for 0, so tmpMonth remains
blank.
See if any ideas here can help...

Sub Demo()
Dim dte As Date
Dim str As String

dte = Now
dte = DateSerial(Year(dte), Month(dte) - 1, 1)

'Your string here...
str = Format(dte, "mmm yy")
End Sub
