Have some code that should determine users My Documents path, Create a New Folder in their documents, then save a newly created PDF document in that folder.

It runs fine on my system. When other users try to run it, they are getting:

Run-time error '1004':

Document not saved. The document may be open, or an error may have been encountered when saving. When Debug is clicked, it points to the code that simply saves the file in the prescribed path as a pdf. As indicated, it works fine on my system but causes this issue for other users.

Here is an image of the code and the portion that is highlighted on debug. I think it may have something to do with the interaction of the Function but I'm baffled.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
It simply has a formula that uses information from different portions of the workbook to generate a unique file name. In the subject case it happens to read:

GSC-Adjustment-Advance-453621-2015-26-none-Smith-Mike.pdf

I admit I am guessing here but should it not be ......& "\Salary Advances\" not .....& "/Salary Advances/"

I originally had it that way, however, it would not work for me. When I made the changes it works for me without any errors and generates the necessary forms. It is only when I send the file to another user, that is generates the run-time error.

In this case, no, I only need to save the specific worksheets to a pdf file. I do not need to save the workbook.

Who has the workbook because when the macro runs for another person it will be their username as you have set it to Environ(username) which will be whoever has the file open at the time so it is looking to file it in their documents is that right?

Correct, that is exactly what I want. When any user opens the file, the function should identify their documents folder. I then have it coded to create a new folder in their documents called Salary Advances. Finally, it should create and save the prescribed PDF file in that new folder, or at least that was the theory I was operating with. It does this on my system, just can't get it to function on other users. I've had them save the workbook with the same file name and it still won't work. I've had them create the Salary Advance folder manually thinking that may be the source. That too did not work...
