Hello All,

This will be my 1st posting and I would greatly appreciate some advise on the best way to handle what I am attempting to accomplish. Basically, I would like to open an excel workbook file (.xlsm) and rename the file using the PC name ("Book1" & PC_Name).

Obviously, I do not want the file to be overwritten if it already exists. In which case, if the file name already exists, then I would just need the file to open.


  • Find PC Name
  • Check for existing file using the PC Name and open if already exists
  • Save the current workbook using the PC Name ("Book1" & PC_Name) if no file match found.
I should probably mention that the path will be the static and will not change. Example: (c:\\home\excel_files\Book1" & PC_Name).

Thank you for your greatly appreciated help.

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
You will need to make some minor changes but this should give you the basic structure.

Code:
Sub FileExists1()
Dim FSO As Object
Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
If FSO.FileExists("C:\" & Environ("COMPUTERNAME") & ".XLSM") Then
    Workbooks.Open ("C:\" & Environ("COMPUTERNAME") & ".XLSM")
Else
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs ("C:\" & Environ("COMPUTERNAME") & ".XLSM")
End If
End Sub

Cheers
