I would like to use vba code to make a new path and file name for an existing workbook. What syntax do I use to create the new folder when I'm trying to save the workbook?

I also would like to open a new workbook as "xfile.xls". How would I code that?

Thanks,

John
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

Hi John
Syntax to make a new directory;
From MSHELP:MkDir Statement Example
This example uses the MkDir statement to create a directory or folder. If the drive is not specified, the new directory or folder is created on the current drive.

MkDir "MYDIR" ' Make new directory or folder.

eg.MkDir "C:NewFolderXlfiles" OR
MkDir "NewFolderXlFiles" if C: is last Dir.

Then just reference the new dir to saveto;

eg Activeworkbook.save "C:NewFolderXlfilesxfile.xls"
