Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
.
Code:
Option Explicit


Public Sub SaveWB()
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="[COLOR=#333333]C:\data\data123\[/COLOR]" & ThisWorkbook.Name 
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="[COLOR=#333333]C:\data\backup\data123_backup[/COLOR]\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
End Sub

[/FONT]
H:\Asset\Backup

[FONT=&quot]I altered the path in your code to:-

[/FONT][/COLOR]  ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Asset" & ThisWorkbook.Name[COLOR=#201F1E][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT][/COLOR]
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Asset\Backup" & ThisWorkbook.Name[COLOR=#201F1E][FONT=&quot]

but although it goes through the motaions ( no erros received ) it does not work?

Note the \ at the end of the path ...

Code:
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Asset\" & ThisWorkbook.Name


    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Asset\Backup\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
