Hi, i am after a Vba save as code where the code will prompt save as dialogue via named range "rngFile" i.e the below path.


C:\Users\Test\Documents\VBA & Excel
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Try like this

Code:
Sub SaveMe()
Dim fName As Variant
fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
        (InitialFileName:="C:\Users\Test\Documents\VBA\" & Range("rngFile").Value & ".xls", _
        FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.XLS), *.XLS", _
                     Title:="Save As")
If fName = False Then Exit Sub
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName
End Sub

Hi Vog,

I was hoping the file path "C:\Users\Test\Documents\VBA\" not to be hard coded as i have the named range "rngFile" on another worksheet, so the user can amend the path as they choose.


Try like this

Code:
Sub SaveMe()
Dim fName As Variant
fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
        (InitialFileName:="C:\Users\Test\Documents\VBA\" & Range("rngFile").Value & ".xls", _
        FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.XLS), *.XLS", _
                     Title:="Save As")
If fName = False Then Exit Sub
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName
End Sub

If rngFile contains the full path and filename try

Code:
Sub SaveMe()
Dim fName As Variant
fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
        (InitialFileName:=Range("rngFile").Value, _
        FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.XLS), *.XLS", _
                     Title:="Save As")
If fName = False Then Exit Sub
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName
End Sub
