Macro Save File (Unique file name)
I currently have a code which I have listed below which will save a file when
the user selects the button. I have some users who will need to save two or more files, which directs them to overwrite the file since currently, there is no identifier in the file name. The indentifier that I would like to add is on another spreadsheet in the same workbook. (Worksheet name: Intro--Start Here; cell: G13) Does anyone know how I can add this information to the filename so that each file saved will have a unique name? Thanks for any suggestions. Dim strPath As String Dim strFileName As String strPath = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\" strFileName = "xxx" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strPath & strFileName, FileFormat:= _ xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _ , CreateBackup:=False ActiveWindow.Close Sheets("Intro--Start Here").Select MsgBox ("xxx") End Sub |

Macro Save File (Unique file name)
Hi SJC,
Change strFileName = "xxx" to strFileName = Range("G13").Value Add this Sheets("Intro--Start Here").Select before the line above. This should do the trick! It basically select your intro sheet, and then assigns a cell value (G13 in this case) to a variable which you then use save the file. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Macro Save File (Unique file name)
I have one more question if you have the time. I am also thinking I would
like to include 2 cells into the file name, but I am thinking I am not doing it right. How would you suggest changing this path? The cell I want to add is F@. Range("C2").Select strPath = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\" strFileName = Range("C2").Value & "_xxx" "Kevin Lehrbass" wrote: Hi SJC, Change strFileName = "xxx" to strFileName = Range("G13").Value Add this Sheets("Intro--Start Here").Select before the line above.
