Hi All

I've been using the below macro for a bit to save a file when a commend button is pressed in a specific location with a randomised password. Its started to fail now on the line highlighted in bold. Can anyone see why this would happen? I just cant work it out.

Thanks
Tom

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
If MsgBox("File will be saved to ""FOLDER NAME"" Shared Drive" & vbNewLine & "" & vbNewLine & "Do you wish to continue?", vbYesNo + vbInformation, "Save File?") = vbNo Then Exit Sub


Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False


Set wb1 = ActiveWorkbook
FinFilePath = "\\Folder Name\Folder name\Folder name\folder name\folder name\folder name\folder name\"
FinFileName = Sheet1.Range("R27").Value & " - " & Format(Now, "dd.mm.yy")
FinExtStr = "." & LCase(Right(wb1.Name, Len(wb1.Name) - InStrRev(wb1.Name, ".", , 1)))
[B]ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FinFilePath & FinFileName & FinExtStr, , "", Int((9999 - 1000 + 1) * Rnd + 1000)[/B]


Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True


MsgBox "File Saved!", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Complete"


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
What is the exact error message it is giving you?
Did you confirm it is building a valid file path/name, one that you have access to that drive?
It should be easy enough to confirm with a message box, i.e.
Code:
[B]MsgBox[/B] [B]FinFilePath & FinFileName & FinExtStr[/B]

Hi Joe

The Error is:

Run-Time Error '1004':
Document not Saved

I've ran the msgbox in the immediate window and the path and file name that comes back is fine. Could it be the path/name is two long? its 245 characters including spaces

Thanks
Tom

You said it used to work in the past, but does not now anymore.
So, what has changed since then?
New computer? New file paths? Upgrade of Office/Windows? Anything else?
