So far I have the following code that asks for a file name, adds the date after the user-entered file name and saves a xls file in the paths of the main file. It works, but I would like to get a dialog box to change the path of the saved file. It would be great if the user-entered file name and date can be pre-positioned in the file name box. What would I need to add to the code to get it to do this?

Thanks,
Mark


Code:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
'===============SAVE DATA TO UPLOAD FILE================
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim MyDay As String
Dim MyMonth As String
Dim MyYear As String
Dim MyPath As String
Dim MyFileName As String
Dim MyCellContent As String
Dim LR As Integer
Dim test
Sheets("Upload List").Select
LR = Worksheets("Upload List").Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
  If LR = 2 Then
     MsgBox ("Nothing to save")
     Sheets("Opening Sheet").Select
     Exit Sub
   End If

MyDay = Day(Now)
MyMonth = Month(Now)
MyYear = Year(Now)
MyPath = ActiveWorkbook.path
MyCellContent = InputBox("Upload file name", "Upload File Name")
Set ws = ActiveSheet
MyFileName = MyCellContent & "_" & MyMonth & "." & MyDay & "." & MyYear & ".xls"
ws.Copy
ChDir MyPath

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
  ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
       MyFileName, FileFormat:=xlExcel8, password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
        ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

ActiveWorkbook.Close
Sheets("Opening sheet").Select
MsgBox ("Upload file created named: " & MyFileName)
End Sub
