I think I've got it. added:

Dim Filesufx As String
then after shName imputbox line added
Filesufx = Application.InputBox("Fill in the file name suffix", "Enter the
MM-YY")
then modified the save as to:
WSNew.Parent.SaveAs foldername & cell.Value & " " & _
Filesufx & FileExtStr, FileFormatNum

Seems to work just fine. It really does help to cut and paste code then
have at it! Thanks so much Ron for all of your tips!

First post so please bear with me. Ron's code has been a life saver! I need
to add three things to this gem.
Turn off display of msg when saving from xlsx to xls (loosing 2007
formatting is ok).
Prompt to specify name of sheets in new workbooks from "Sheet1" to "Charges".
Prompt for mm-yy suffix to append to file name...like ABC Company 11-08.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
