Hi everyone,

I there a way to assign a macro that saves the file as the year_month_day - hour_minute_second.xls and place it in "My Documents".

Even more so - it can make a new folder labeled "Orders To Go" in "My Documents Folder" (area) and place the file in it. In the case that there is a folder already with "Orders To Go" in it, it will place the file in that folder.

Note: This file (with this macro) will be used on many different computers.

Thank you,
Craig
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
For the first you can use something along these lines:

<font face=Tahoma><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> foo()
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Dim</SPAN> CurrentUser <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">String</SPAN>
        CurrentUser = LCase(Environ("UserName"))
        
        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs _
        "C:\Documents and Settings\" & CurrentUser & "\My Documents\" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & " - " & Format(Now, "hh-mm-ss") & ".xls"

<SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN></FONT>

For the second, check out the VB helpfile for the CreateFolder Method.

HTH,

Thank you,

I really don't understand on what to do here. What do I put where? I apologize for being a novice when it comes to this.

Thank you,
