At the end of the macro I want the macro to perform a File Save As - and have the user pick the location and name of the file.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Try

Code:
Dim fName As Variant
fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(initialFilename:="", ileFilter:="Excel Files (*.XLS), *.XLS", Title:="Save As")
If fNameAndPath = False Then Exit Sub
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName

Thanks for the help. VoG it comes back with an error that ileFilter is Named Argument not Found.

Here is the end of my macro that i want to perform the File / Save As.

(I don't know how to insert a "Code Box" into my post - sorry)

Dim fName As Variant
Range("A1:X" & f_RowCount + 2).Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add
ActiveSheet.Paste
fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:="", ileFilter:="CSV (*.csv)", Title:="Save As")
If fNameAndPath = False Then Exit Sub
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Ok - now it compiles but there is an error when it gets to that line.

Method 'GetSaveAsFilename' of object '_Application' failed

Thanks
