Hi Sandy

Like Dave already posted the parent folder must exist
Also you can test if there is something in inputText and test if there are no wrong characters
to avoid errors.

Use this

Do you want inputtext as folder and also be a part of the file name ?
Is that correct



inputText = Application.InputBox("Enter name here", _
"Person's Name", , , , , 2)

Dirname = "D\Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA-" & inputText
If Not DirectoryExist(Dirname) Then
MkDir Dirname
End If
'your save line here
' dirname is the path so you only add the file name here
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=Dirname & "\Personal Golf Analyser-"
& inputText & ".xls"

Hi Ron
Having a bit of bother piecing it all together - i have this at the
moment, but it returns a "Run-time error '76': Path not found" when it
reaches 'MkDir DirName'- any thoughts?

Sub New_Name()

Open_All_Sheets

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Application.EnableEvents = False

Dim inputText As String

inputText = Application.InputBox("Enter name here", _
"Person's Name", , , , , 2)

Sheets("Data Input").Range("D1:H1").Value = inputText


Application.Run "Lock_All_Sheets"

Application.EnableEvents = True

Application.ScreenUpdating = True


Dim Dirname As String
Dirname = "D\Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA-" & inputText & ""
If Not DirectoryExist(Dirname) Then
MkDir Dirname
End If
'your save line here
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:="D:Sandy's Documents\All
PGA\Personal Golf Analyser-" & inputText & "\Personal Golf Analyser-" &
inputText & ".xls"

ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

End Sub



Function DirectoryExist(sstr As String)
'Tom Oglivy
Dim lngAttr As Long
DirectoryExist = False
If Dir(sstr, vbDirectory) < "" Then
lngAttr = GetAttr(sstr)
If lngAttr And vbDirectory Then _
DirectoryExist = True
End If
End Function

You can create the folder with code first if it not exist

Sub testing()
Dim Dirname As String
Dirname = "D\Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA\" & inputText
If Not DirectoryExist(Dirname) Then
MkDir Dirname
End If
'your save line here
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=Dirname & "\testfile.xls"
End Sub


Function DirectoryExist(sstr As String)
'Tom Oglivy
Dim lngAttr As Long
DirectoryExist = False
If Dir(sstr, vbDirectory) < "" Then
lngAttr = GetAttr(sstr)
If lngAttr And vbDirectory Then _
DirectoryExist = True
End If
End Function

Thanks Ron

I've just had another thought - is it possible to SaveAs to a folder
that as yet doesn't exist. Eg

"D\Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA\(--and then use the "inputText" to
create this folder--)"

ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:="D:Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA-" &
inputText & ".xls"

Hi
I have a bit of code as part of a 'Sub'- namely:

ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:="PSA-" & inputText & ".xls"

which saves a copy of a workbook to the same folder that the original
was opened from, in this case -

'D:Sandy's Documents\All PSA'.

How can I adjust this to save the file in a specific location eg

'D:\Sandy's Documents\All PSA\PSA\Excel 95-2003'

Thanks
Sandy
