Hi there,
have following code:
ChDir "M:\"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
Application.InputBox("Enter Save as File Name") & ".xls" _
, FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
works fine but is there a way to disable the Close button in the box? If I
click on it it saves the file as False. Also, if I click on Cancel button it
saves as False. So what I want is that if the user clicks on accident on the
Close button that nothing happens and if they click on Cancel button to mayve
have a message saying Must Type File Name. This way it will force the users
to put somethin instead of the file saving as False.
Any ideas?
Really appreciate.
Juan

Don't know your level of programming but not create a new userform and do the
following

place to buttons on it, one for saving and one to cancel

on this form insert a textbox for people to enter the save file data in

then insert this code into the userform and its problem solved as it works
fine on my system

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Filename = TextBox1.Value

If TextBox1.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "please enter a name for the file"
Else

ChDir "C:\"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="" & Filename & ".xls", FileFormat:
=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
UserForm1.Hide

End If

End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
UserForm1.Hide
End Sub

let me know how you get on
