Hi,

I'm using the following code to save as macro enabled excel with initial filename in the Application.GetSaveAsFilename:

Code:
Private Sub LagreSomExcel_Click()

    Dim fileSaveName As Variant


    Prosjekt = Sheets("Forside").Range("E3").Value
    Rapportnavn = Range("C2").Value
    
    fileName = Prosjekt & "_" & Rapportnavn
    
        fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(initialFilename:=fileName)
        If VarType(fileSaveName) = vbBoolean Then Exit Sub


        fileSaveName = Left(fileSaveName, Len(fileSaveName) - 1)


        ' Save as XLSM
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fileName:=fileSaveName & ".xlsm", _
        FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled


End Sub

The problem is that we in most computers don't get the initial filename.

What to do?
