Remove .xls from a variable filename
 

I have a CommandButton on a worksheet to create a copy of the
ActiveWorkbook. I want the copy's filename to be the same as the
ActiveWorkbook.FullName but add "_Complete" before the file
extension. i.e......C:\FileName.xls to C:\FileName_Complete.xls.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Alan -

Here's one approach:

fl_Name = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
comp_Name = Replace(fl_Name, ".xls", "_Complete.xls")

You could also check to see if it's there.

Dim myNewFilename as string
mynewfilename = activeworkbook.fullname
if lcase(right(mynewfilename,4)) = ".xls" then
mynewfilename = left(mynewfilename,len(mynewfilename)-4)
end if
mynewfilename = mynewfilename & "_complete.xls"
