Using a TextBox value in a file String
Hi
fName is already a string so you want to use fName not "fName" You also have a periods (.) in the middle of your strings , as well as the one in front of your xls at the end. This is a file name no no so you should remove them. regards Paul On Mar 9, 11:49 am, Mark Dullingham wrote: I have the following code ina standard module, the user can enter there own file name via a form.

Using a TextBox value in a file String
Thanks for your reply.
The () in the in the string are there to define the 2 format statements abd don't appear in the file name. If called for - ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "C:\AutoSaves\DDE Sheet" _ & "." & Format(Date, "dd-mmm-yyyy") & "." & Format(Time, "hh-mm-ss") & ".xls" Works fine. What I want to do is replace DDE Sheet with the fname , manely the value of textbox1, but in it's current format it doesn't wor!!

Using a TextBox value in a file String
Maybe something like:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "C:\AutoSaves\" & fname & _ & "." & Format(now, "dd-mmm-yyyy.hh-mm-ss") & ".xls" or (Since I'm confused): ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "C:\AutoSaves\" & textbox1.text & _ & "." & Format(now, "dd-mmm-yyyy.hh-mm-ss") & ".xls" (I changed the date and time to now, too.)

Using a TextBox value in a file String
Dave,
Thanks a million, both your suggestions worked great. That was the last thing I had to get working on this project and it's been frustrating me for days. Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.
