File name varible problem
Hi, Jim Thomlinson gave me some great code last week for saving a copied worksheet to a subfolder with the same path as the original workbook. My problem is that I can't seem to make the file name a varible based on a worksheet range value. I just get the hard coded name. I could use some help on the correct syntax. Here is my current code. Private Sub cmdCopyTransmittal_Click() Dim c As Range Dim d As Range Dim Fname As String Sheets("TRANS(0)").Copy ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("geekk") Set d = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas) For Each c In d With c ..Value = .Value End With Next c ActiveSheet.Shapes("cmdCopyTransmittal").Delete ActiveSheet.Shapes("cmdImportSubmittals").Delete ActiveSheet.Shapes("cmdAddRow").Delete ActiveSheet.Shapes("cmdDeleteRow").Delete Fname = ActiveSheet.Range("A9").Value ActiveSheet.Protect ("geekk"), DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _ Scenarios:=True On Error Resume Next MkDir ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Submittal Transmittals" On Error GoTo 0 Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show ThisWorkbook.Path _ & "\Submittal Transmittals\Fname.xls" End Sub The routine correctly creates the subfolder but names the file "Fname" instead of my varible. -- Casey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Casey's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4545 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=519387 |

Hi Casey,
Fname is a string variable, shouldn't be in the quotes. Try this: Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show ThisWorkbook.Path _ & "\Submittal Transmittals\" & Fname & ".xls" Best regards John "Casey" wrote in message ...

Chip, Worked perfectly, thank you very much. I actually thought I had tried that, but comparing your code to what I'd tried, I had neglected quotation marks in the proper places. Just a note of thanks as well for your excellent website, I highly recommend it to anyone serious about VBA and Excel. www.cpearson.com John, Thanks for your reply too. I appreciate the bit of explaination you gave, it always helps bring clarity. -- Casey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Casey's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4545 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=519387 |
