Hi Guys,

I have a macro that allows me to create a file where there is a change in the name of the column and save it with that new name:

Sub FindNextCustomer()
Workbooks("Book1.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Customers").Activate
Range("A2").Select
b = Range("A2").Value
Do While ActiveCell.Value = b
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
a = ActiveCell.Value
Workbooks.Add.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Accounts\Nick\Loan Guarantees\" & a & ".xls"
End Sub

However, I cannot get this to loop back on itself to go and look for subsequent instances and repeat

I have tried putting If/Else statements within the loop such as

IF ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value = ActiveCell.Value then ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Else a = ActiveCell.Value
Workbooks.Add.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Accounts\Nick\Loan Guarantees\" & a & ".xls

But I get the Else without If Error.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, are there any easy-to-understand references on Loops, ranges, Dim (whatever they are!) - I am only an accounts bod and don't have any IT quals so pls be sympathetic!

Ta,

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
