Calling a String

[oliquino]

I have set Dim NewPDFFile As String however it doesn't push and call the path which needs to be inserted on the dialog box.

NewPDFFile As String

NewPDFFile = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & StudentName & "_Enrollment.pdf" 'New File Name
If Dir(NewPDFFile, vbDirectory) <> "" Then Kill (NewPDFFile) 'Deleted File if exists

........

Application.SendKeys "+^(s)", True
Application.Wait Now + 0.00001
Application.SendKeys "^~", True
Application.Wait Now + 0.00001

Application.SendKeys NewPDFFile, True
Application.Wait Now + 0.00002

End Sub

ThisWorkbook.Path is null if the workbook has not been saved,

and here's some better functions:
if FileExists(sFile) then KillFile(sFile)
but with this function you dont have to do the IF FILEEXISTS,
just run: KillFile(sFile), if its there it deletes, if not , it moves on.

Public Function FileExists(ByVal pvFile) As Boolean
Dim FSO
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FileExists = FSO.FileExists(pvFile)
Set FSO = Nothing
End Function

Public Sub KillFile(ByVal pvFile)
Dim FSO
On Error Resume Next
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'FileReadOnly pvFile, False
FSO.DeleteFile pvFile
Set FSO = Nothing
End Sub
