Hi,
In my code the pdf file is saved using this partial piece of code.
Rich (BB code):
& .Range("B3").Value & " " & .Range("AB1").Value & " " & Format(.Range("E3").Value, "dd-mm-yyyy") & ".pdf"

The saved test file for the above is saved like so

Im trying to change the date & ref number around so it looks like this

195ACB.pdf

So i used this line of code to replace the original.

Rich (BB code):
& .Range("B3").Value & " " & Format(.Range("E3").Value, "dd-mm-yyyy")& .Range("AB1").Value & " " & ".pdf"

But the output is saved like so

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
You have a space ("& " " &") between the first and second values but not before the second and third values. Try below...

VBA Code:
& .Range("B3").Value & " " & Format(.Range("E3").Value, "dd-mm-yyyy") & " " & .Range("AB1").Value & ".pdf"

I hope that helps,

Doug
