Hi,

Can somebody help in separating Filename and Path when saving a file in a macro (excel).

Sub buclechupi333()
Dim TempFilePath As String
Dim i
MiFile = Application.GetOpenFilename(",*.xls")
If MiFile = False Then Exit Sub
'Here I have a path and filename (all together) and I can not separate it!
Sheets("1").Activate
For i = 1 To 15
TempFilePath = ActiveCell.Value
'So here it is duplicated because I can not dettach the filename from the path.
NewFile = "I:\Basura Temporal\" & TempFilePath & "\" & MiFile & ".xls"
If Dir(NewFile, vbArchive) <> "" Then Kill NewFile
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=NewFile
MsgBox NewFile
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next i

ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

End Sub

Thanks,

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple

One way is to open the file temporarily, and use some of the Activeworkbook commands on it, i.e.

Code:
    miFile = Application.GetOpenFilename(",*.xls")
    If miFile = False Then Exit Sub
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=miFile
    MyFileName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
    MyFilePath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
    ActiveWorkbook.Close
    ...
