I am looking to write a macro that will save a file to the directory of the user's choosing, but the filename is provided in one of the cells. So far the code I have below works, but only saves in whatever the last directory accessed was. Any suggestions?

Code:
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        Sheet3.Range("F1").Value, _
        FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Figured it out.

Code:
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .Show
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        Sheet3.Range("F1").Value, _
        FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
    End With
