saving file name and location with excel macro
 

how can I develop a macro in excel who allows me to automatically set
the file name (eg. content cell B3 + content cell B5) and let me choose
the file location?
The best solution wuold be something like the GetSaveAsFilename method
in which the field "Name" is automatically set.

TheFile =
Application.GetSaveAsFilename("N:\AFC\MURCA\FATTUR AZIONE\FATTURE", _
"Workbook (*.xls),*.xls", , "Save As...")

Thank you for your help.

saving file name and location with excel macro
 

So you want to allow the user to control the drive/folder, but you want to
specify the filename?

If yes, maybe just asking for the drive/folder would be better:

Jim Rech has a BrowseForFolder routine at:

(look for BrowseForFolder)

John Walkenbach has one at:

If you and all your users are running xl2002+, take a look at VBA's help for:
application.filedialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
