easy question about workbook naming

[ramasterre]

Can someone tell me how references to workbooks are updated when the file is saved as a new name? I have a document that contains macros that must refer to that documents name. However, I use the document to create new (updated) documents weekly and I need the name of the document to save with the changes. As I have been building the macros for the document, I've noticed that the name changes are not always carried over to the code such that the macros cannot run because they are refering to the earlier version of the workbook. Is there a specific way that the name change must occur to carry over each time the workbook is renamed?


Thanks!

Try:

Dim Document As WorkBook
Document = ActiveWorkbook.Name

Then every time you refer to the filename, you replace that with "Document"

I think that will solve your problem.

Can someone tell me if I can refer to the workbook just as "ThisWorkbook"? so i can say ThisWorkbook.Activate ?
