Hi,

I have this macro (see below) that allows me to take screenshot and save it to a specific path with a specific filename. For the path, it is user dependent. For the filename, it is reference to the active cell selected during the screenshot. Before I am only required to sceenshot 1 part of the transaction and save it using the ticket number as the file name. Now, we have to screenshot at least 4-6 parts of the transaction hence this post. Is there a way to update this macro that will allow me to save screenshots using 1 filename then just add "(1)" at the end of the name if more screenshot is required? To make it clearer, If the active cell has "TICKETA" then I do a screenshot, it will save the file as TICKETA. the next screenshot will be named as TICKETA(1), the next will be TICKETA(2), so on and so forth.
Note: The "(1)" is not really required, any will do.

Sub Main()
Dim r As Range
Dim Path As String
Path = Range("A1")
Window_Capture_VBA
Selection.Name = ActiveCell
ExportPicture ActiveCell
Set r = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, ActiveCell.Column + 5)
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add r, Path & ActiveCell & ".jpg", , , ActiveCell.Value
End Sub
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sub ExportPicture(im$)
Dim ch As String, pic As String, PicWidth&, PicHeight&, n$
Dim Path As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = 0
n = ActiveSheet.Name
pic = Selection.Name
Path = Range("A1")
With Selection
PicHeight = .ShapeRange.Height
PicWidth = .ShapeRange.Width
End With
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:=n
Selection.Border.LineStyle = 0
ch = Selection.Name & " " & Split(ActiveChart.Name, " ")(2)
With ActiveSheet
With .Shapes(ch)
.Width = PicWidth
.Height = PicHeight
End With
.Shapes(pic).Copy
.Shapes(pic).Delete
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveChart.Paste
.ChartObjects(1).Chart.Export Filename:=Path & im & ".jpg", FilterName:="jpg"
.Shapes(ch).Cut
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox "Image created and saved."
End Sub
