What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Is the value in B13 in EstimatingSheet.xls and are both instances of EstimatingSheet.xls you mention the same file?

The value in B13 will be different each time.
It is the name of the company
Like: JOhnsonCOmpany.xls
or FRN.xls etc.

How about
Code:
Sub test()
Dim wb As Workbook, myDir As String
myDir = "c:\somewhere" '<- change here
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(myDir & "\EstimatingSheet.xls")
wb.SaveAs myDir & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("b13").Text & ".xls"
wb.Close False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(myDir & "\EstimatingSheet.xls")
End Sub
