Hi there guys,
I have tried all of the suggestions but non worked (maybe is because I
am a newby) but please please try and help me again.
the project is this:
1) Cell c3 contains a text that will act as the file name.
2) the code needs to use this text as file name and save it to a
directory c:\program files\shopping\recipes.
3) if the file exists then the user needs to be prompted to save or
rename in that directory.

Thank you again.

Alan

Hi Alan,

the project is this:
1) Cell c3 contains a text that will act as the file name.
2) the code needs to use this text as file name and save
it to a
directory c:\program files\shopping\recipes.

This should do:

Workbooks("abcd.xls").SaveAs FileName:="program
files\shopping\recipes\" & Range("c2").Value & ".xls"

3) if the file exists then the user needs to be prompted
to save or
rename in that directory.

This should work automatically unless you do not want
excell to hide that prompt.

Best

thanks for your tip. it works fine the only issue is that if the file
exists already I need to ask the user to either save it over or choose
another name, do you know what I should add?
