hello friends,
I wish to make it so that my company's commands automatically get saved in the right folder. I made a template for these commands and I wished to be able to include the cell name in my file path like so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20978868/vba-macro-to-save-excel-file-using-path-from-cell

But in my case, i'd like to put the cell name in the path like so: " C:\Users\Vincent.BILLY-SURFACE\Desktop\affaires en cours"nameof the cell in A20"\concombre1\orange 2\bite mole"file name"

Please help, this is something my tutor would like for friday, thank you for your help!
 
Try
Code:
Private Sub SaveSpecific_Click()
   Dim filename1 As String
   Dim Pth1 As String, Pth As String
   
   Pth1 = Dir("C:\Users\Vincent.BILLY-SURFACE\Desktop\affaires en cours\" & Range("A20") & "*", vbDirectory)
   Pth = "C:\Users\Vincent.BILLY-SURFACE\Desktop\affaires en cours\" & Pth1 & "\concombre1\orange 2\bite mole\"
   filename1 = Range("F7").Text
   Application.DisplayAlerts = False
   ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fileName:=Pth & filename1 & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
   Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Which line of code gave that error and what are the exact values of A20 & F7?

Here you can see F7 and A20, I don't think the "-" is creating a problem, you can also see the line of code creating the error

If you hover the mouse over Pth when you get the error, is the path correct?

For some reason there is a double slash after "affaires en cours", i even removed a bunch of \ to see if that would fix it and it didn't, I am guessing the double slash is there to allow range 20 to be there in between but its not.
