Hi there, i am getting a runtime error 1004...that the file could not be
accessed. The code it below, and the line in question is:

sbFile.SaveAs Filename:=WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\Copreco
Reading.xlsx """

================================================
Sub ExportCoprecoReadingData()
Const sourceSheet = "Site Reading Log" ' source
Dim sourceBook As String
Dim destBook As String
Dim sourceRange As Range
Dim destRange As Range

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sourceBook = ThisWorkbook.Name
'get the new workbook object
Set sbFile = Workbooks.Add ' create new book
destBook = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Windows(sourceBook).Activate
Worksheets(sourceSheet).Select

Set sourceRange = ActiveSheet.Rows("1:1")
Set destRange = Workbooks(destBook).Worksheets("Sheet1").Rows("1:1 ")
destRange.Value = sourceRange.Value

'change "A" to column with data in last row
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Select
Set sourceRange = ActiveSheet.Rows(ActiveCell.Row & ":" & ActiveCell.Row)
Set destRange = Workbooks(destBook).Worksheets("Sheet1").Rows("2:2 ")
destRange.Value = sourceRange.Value
Set sourceRange = Nothing
Set destRange = Nothing

'get the desktop path, save and close new workbook
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sbFile.SaveAs Filename:=WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\Copreco
Reading.xlsx """
sbFile.Close

Set WshShell = Nothing
Set sbFile = Nothing

End Sub

It failed the second time for me because the item was already on my desktop.
The 1st time it ran perfectly.
