Save as !
 

I have made a control button on my worksheet, to "save as"
Is there a way I can program this button to recognise a name in a cell and
use that name as the filename to save as. I realise there is a button for it
in the file menu, but I've been asked to put one on the Work sheet.

Thanks

Save as !
 

try,




Sub SaveASCellValue()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Range("A1").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Range("A1").Value
End Sub

I also would like to do this, but when I try, I get an error message :A file
named 'TRUE.xls' already exists in this location.

But the contents of A1 contain 'TEST' or NOW() or other text.

What am I doing wrong ?

I adapted the advice given to read;

ActiveWorkbook.saveas Filename:=("C:\Documents and Settings\steve\Desktop\")
+ Range("E7").Value

the code line is only written once. And it saves to my desktop, and from
there I can move it to the required storage place.
I only get an error messageit I try to resave using my button and I havent
changed the file name.Thats when you get the File already exists line and
asks if you wish to overwrite it.

Hope this helps.

I suspect you've written
.... Filename=Range("A1").Value
instead of
.... Filename:=Range("A1").Value

Note the colon after "Filename"

I can't see the beginning of this thread so I don't
know why Corey suggests doing the SaveAs
twice..
