I'm trying to save all worksheets within a workbook as individual workbooks, and all was going well until I tried to introduce a unique filename based on cell B2 of each tab. Current code is:

Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Copy
With ActiveWorkbook
UNIQUEREF = ActiveSheet.Range("B2")
.SaveAs Filename:="D:\" & UNIQUEREF & ".xls" 'Error Line
.Close
End With
Next ws

I get the error message: Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook' failed

Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Step through your code and check what cell B2 contains in the created workbook.
You'll probably find it contains an error of some description.
