save file
 

Hi Newbie,

I am also a newbie, so don't feel alone !!
I have just used the code below which works fine, i am sure it is not
the best, but it works. Critisism will be welcome.

Sub SaveFile()
'
'
Dim myValue As Variant
myValue = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Please enter the file save
name")

ChDir "C:\Datalog\"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Datalog\" & myValue & ".xls", _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, CreateBackup:=False

MsgBox "Your file hase been saved as: " & "(" & myValue & ".XLS) " & "in
the datalog folder"
Application.Quit

End Sub

save file
 

Try something like

Dim FName As Variant
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel files (*.xls),*.xls")
If FName = False Then
' user clicked cancel
Else
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FName
End If
