Saveas macro

[Brucelee]

HI could someone help me please,
I want to make a SAVE AS macro so it brings up the save box, I f i record one it just saves it to where I recorded it, please could someone help please thank you.

P.S. would it also be possible to just save the worksheet instead if the whole workbook?
If someone has any ideas please help me, much appreciated.

Here's a sample:

fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(PathToSave, _
fileFilter:="Excel Workbook (*.xls), *.xls")
If fileSaveName <> False Then
Workbooks(NewWB).Activate
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fileSaveName
MsgBox "Report saved as " & fileSaveName
Else
Workbooks(NewWB).Activate
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs PathToSave
MsgBox "Report saved as " & PathToSave
End If

Look up "GetSaveAsFilename" in VBA help.

Thanks for that, Is it possible to have it automatically save every 7 days as a new workbook
e.g. workbook1/1/2002
workbook7/1/2002

Sure
I don't know how often you open your and intend to save your workbook under a different name.

In the above example, PathToSave is the full path needed to save the workbook...
You could use the current date to generate a filename for you.

For Ex.
You want to save you workbook in C:Weekly
using the current date as part of the filename.

Pathname = "C:Weeklywb & format(now,"mmddyy") & ".xls"

would show the string and save the file as:

C:Weeklywb041002.xls"

Hope this helps..
