difficulties using vba to save to the desktop
I've got a quirky problem. The network admin folks here at my office have a
bit of a strange naming convention for users. If you start as a part timer you get a username that looks something like pt[loc][initials] so for someone who is named John H. Smith starting part time at location number 04, his login would be pt04jhs. The trouble is that if John switches to full time his username changes to ft04jhs but his userprofile still points to the directory C:\documents and settings\pt04jhs\. I want to use vba to export (copy) a sheet from the workbook I'm in to a new workbook, save that workbook to the desktop, and close that workbook without prompting the user. (Incidentally, the rest of the naming convention for the file relies on a combo box on the main menu (frmMainMenu) form called cmbSelectDivision, just in case you're wondering why that's in there.) Here's my code right now: dim NameThatExport as string NameThatExport = "Division" + frmMainMenu.cmbSelectDivision.Value _ + ".xls" Sheets("MyList").Select Sheets("MyList").Copy ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\" + Environ("username") _ + "\Desktop\" + NameThatExport, FileFormat:=xlNormal, _ Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False _ Windows(fileNm).Activate Application.CutCopyMode = False ActiveWorkbook.Close False The code works well for users who started full time and remained full time and for users who started part time and remained part time but for those who started part time and switched to full time they get no autonaming. Is there a way to use code to find the desktop other than the way I tried above? Thanks for your help! |
