Hello,

I'm trying to write a macro to save (save as) the active workbook:

a. in the same directory
b. with a new filename (extension of the original)

Lets say the name of the original file is "test.xls". I would like to
Save As this file as "test_import.xls" in the same directory resulting
in the original file plus a copy with the extended name.

The following is a hard-coded approach which does what I need, but I
need to dynamically determine the file path and edit the name. The
extension to the name will always be "_import."


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

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

See if the following code is useful:

Sub saveMe

Dim sCurrentName as string

' Parse out the name of the current workbook without the path or the
".xls" extension
sCurrentName = Mid(ActiveWorkbook.Name, 1, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) -
4)

' Add whatever extension you want
sNewName = sCurrentName & "_import"

' Do a minimal save
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & sNewName

End sub
