Hi Guys,

I have created a VBA which saves the active sheet of the specific workbook - this works perfectly but I also want to save the whole workbook alongside the PDF with the same filename as the PDF.

How can I fit this in on the same macro? Please see below code:

VBA Code: 
Sub PDFActiveSheet()

Dim wsA As Worksheet
Dim wbA As Workbook
Dim strTime As String
Dim strName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim strPathFile As String
Dim myFile As Variant
On Error GoTo errHandler

Set wbA = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsA = ActiveSheet
strTime = Format(Now(), "ddmmyy")

'get active workbook folder, if saved
strPath = wbA.Path
If strPath = "" Then
  strPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
End If
strPath = strPath & "\"

'set save name
strName = wsA.Range("N7").Value _
          & " - " & wsA.Range("N8").Value _
          & " - " & wsA.Range("N9").Value

'create default name for savng file
strFile = strName & "" & strTime & ".pdf"
strPathFile = strPath & strFile

'use can enter name and
' select folder for file 'currently set to active folder
myFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
    (InitialFileName:=strPathFile, _
        FileFilter:="PDF Files (*.pdf), *.pdf", _
        Title:="Select Folder and FileName to save")

'export to PDF if a folder was selected
If myFile <> "False" Then
    wsA.ExportAsFixedFormat _
        Type:=xlTypePDF, _
        Filename:=myFile, _
        Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
        IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
        IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
        OpenAfterPublish:=False
    'confirmation message with file info
    MsgBox "PDF file has been created: " _
      & vbCrLf _
      & myFile
End If

exitHandler:
    Exit Sub
errHandler:
    MsgBox "Could not create PDF file"
    Resume exitHandler
End Sub

Super thanks in advance!

HI tropipz

This is what I am running. mine is more complex in that it adds the date also, but hopefully you can see what info you need.

VBA Code:

Thanks for that, is that one macro or two individual? i.e. do you have a button (or function) you press which does both pdf & save or is there a separate button for both?

It is 2 macros that are part of a more complex group, that once finished saves and closes the files. I have to generate a report daily, so it is all started from a button click.

Which is easy if that is what you are looking for.
Sub run ()

Marco1 (your first step you need completing)

Macro2 (the next step)

Save pdf macro (publishes sheet to pdf)

Save file macro (saves the file)

Close file (once finished closes the excel file)

End sub

You can build a very complex routine by breaking each macro down into smaller steps then lost the order you want them to happen in another macro..
