compile/syntax error to save active book to new location on networ
I'm just a beginner at writing macros. And I'm really lost with proper
syntax in order to point to the desired directory location where we need the file saved. I recorded the macro, and then edited respective to tab names, etc. I'm thinking it's maybe the syntax around the TimePeriod string. I'm also not familiar with all the SaveAs conditions. Here's the statement that where I get the error: ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs([Q:\Finance\Forecast\2007\"&(TimePeriod"\TRG\Prelim Actual vs Forecast],[.xls],[""],[Normal],[""],[""],[False],[False],[""],[""],[""],[""]) |

compile/syntax error to save active book to new location on networ
Instead of using positional parameters (who remembers what order they go in???),
you can use keywords. VBA's help for .saveas shows them: activeworkbook.saveas _ filename:="Q:\Finance\Forecast\2007\" & TimePeriod & _ "\TRG\Prelim Actual vs Forecast.xls", _ fileformat:=xlworkbooknormal And depending on what timeperiod is, you may have to format it. If it's a date, then your filename can't contain slashes--if it's a time, then the filename can't contain the colons--something like: activeworkbook.saveas _ filename:="Q:\Finance\Forecast\2007\" & format(TimePeriod, "yyyymmdd") & _ "\TRG\Prelim Actual vs Forecast.xls", _ fileformat:=xlworkbooknormal Sharon wrote: I'm just a beginner at writing macros.

compile/syntax error to save active book to new location on ne
Thanks Dave works great....the TimePeriod format is a text value, so your
first "fix" worked wonderfully! The only thing that was tricky is that there had to be a space before and after the & operator ie; " & TimePeriod & " Thank you So Much!!
