How would I go about saving a file as the concatenation of B1,C1, and E1 in a
macro

with activeworkbook.worksheets("sheet9999")
.parent.saveas filename:="C:\temp\" & _
.range("B1").value & .range("C1").value & .range("E1").value & ".xls" _
fileformat:=xlworkbooknormal
end with

(untested, watch for typos)

filename = range(B1).value & range(C1).value & range(E1).value

I'm assuming that the active sheet is the same sheet where these ranges are
stored.

You need to have your save code looking something like this:

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Customer\Desktop\Book1.xls",
FileFormat:=xlNormal _
, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
CreateBackup:=False

Is there a way to use the default path that excell is using? if someone else
used this the macro would have to be changed to work for them

Larry,

CurDir will return the current default path.
ThisWorkbook.Path will return the path of the workbook containing the code.
ActiveWorkbook.Path will return the path of the workbook that is currently
active, which may or may not be the workbook containing the code.

This is the code I came up with. It seems to work so I guess that is all I
need. I don't think I need to password it.

With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1")
.Parent.SaveAs Filename:=.Range("B1").Value & .Range("C1"). _
Value & .Range ("E1").Value & ".xls"
End With

Thanks everyone
