Good morning Gents.

The following macro attempts to open a new file, take the name of a already opened file and then, save the new file with a variation of the existing file name.
==============================
Private Sub CmdB_Invoice_New_Click()


CurrentfileName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
NewFileName = "DraftInvoice_" & Left(CurrentfileName, Len(CurrentfileName) - 5) & "_" & Format(Now, "yyyy_mm_dd")
'Debug.Print NewFileName


Set newbook = Workbooks.Add
With newbook
.Title = "RGH Invoicing"
SaveTheNewFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=NewFileName, FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx", Title:="RGH Save As")
End With


End Sub

========================================
Somehow, Though the save as dialog box is opened with the proper information, after clicking on the "Save" button, nothing happens
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
GetSaveAsFileName displays the standard Save As dialog box and gets a file name from the user without actually saving any files (as explained by Microsoft )
Add a line above End With to save the file something like this (untested)

Code:
If[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas] SaveTheNewFile <>  [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#07704A][FONT=Consolas]False [/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Consolas]Then[/FONT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas] .SaveAs(SaveTheNewFile)[/FONT][/COLOR]
