I have the following Macro that saves a file to a different location with the file name being what is in cell B7.

Code:
Sub FileSave ()
Dim FP As String, FN As String
FP = "Ë:\Quotes\"
FN = Range("B7").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:= FP & FN & ".xls"

End Sub

How do I get this to RUN whenever any method of Save is selected.
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
In the VBA editor, select the 'ThisWorkbook' object and add code to the Workbook_BeforeSave event.

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FP As String, FN As String
FP = "Ë:\Quotes\"
FN = Range("B7").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FP & FN & ".xls"

End Sub

Does the file you want to save to a different location have a .xls file extension? If not, what is its file extension?

Any File with VBA in the Workbook has to be a Macro Enabled File so it has a file extension of .xlsm. Have tried with .xlsm and with no file extension - still fails to run.

Thank you both for your time. Problem has been resolved. IT man hadn't shared the E:\Quotes| folder. Your assistance with the Before Save worked. Once again Thank you.
