I want to open a template, fill in some info, and then run a macro t
save as a certain name.

For example, after I open the template, I will type in John Smith in A
and 6/7/05 in B1. I want to run a macro that will automatically sav
that template as "JS060705.xls".

How can I do that

Put a button on the template file. Assign the following macro to the
button:


Code:
--------------------
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim dt
Dim nm
nm = Range("A1").Value
nm = Left$(nm,1) & Mid$(nm,InStr(nm," ")+1,1)
dt = DateValue(Range("B1").Value)
dt = Format(dt,"MMDDYY")
Activeworkbook.SaveAs FileName: = nm & dt & ".xls"
End Sub
