I have Code below to save the current workbook by removing the old month and year before .xls and inserting the new month and year before .xls

I need the code amended so that the file is saved in the current directory, which is C:\My docs\Purchase ledger BR1

Kindly amend code per my requirement

Code:
Sub Save_file_with_CurrentMonth()

Dim strOldWBName As String
Dim strNewWBName As String
Dim strMonthYear As String
Dim strCurrentDir As String

strOldWBName = ThisWorkbook.Name

' search for the first closing bracket from the right
strOldWBName = Left(strOldWBName, InStrRev(strOldWBName, ")"))

' Get the month and year from cell U1 on Sheet "summary"
strMonthYear = Format(Sheets("summary").Range("U1"), "mmm yyyy")

' Get the current directory path
strCurrentDir = ThisWorkbook.Path

' Replace the date in the current file name with the one from U1
strNewWBName = strOldWBName & " " & strMonthYear & ".xlsm"

' Save the file with the new file name in the current directory
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strCurrentDir & "" & strNewWBName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled

End Sub [code]

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
If I understand correctly, try this

VBA Code:
Sub Save_file_with_CurrentMonth()
    Dim strOldWBName As String
    Dim strNewWBName As String
    Dim strMonthYear As String
    Dim strCurrentDir As String
    
    strOldWBName = ThisWorkbook.Name
    
    ' search for the first closing bracket from the right
    strOldWBName = Left(strOldWBName, InStrRev(strOldWBName, ")"))
    
    ' Get the month and year from cell U1 on Sheet "summary"
    strMonthYear = Format(Sheets("summary").Range("U1"), "mmm yyyy")
    
    ' Get the current directory path
    strCurrentDir = "C:\My docs\Purchase ledger BR1\"
    
    ' Replace the date in the current file name with the one from U1
    strNewWBName = strOldWBName & " " & strMonthYear & ".xlsm"
    
    ' Save the file with the new file name in the current directory
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strCurrentDir & strNewWBName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
End Sub
