here's the problem:

When a user click on an assigned button, i would like to do the following:

1. Present the user with a "Save As" dialog box, BUT with a specific folder location (not the default dir) so users do not have to navigate further...
(So far, I can only do the 1st part)

2. User types a filename and click save

3. Continues with the rest of the macro, i.e. Saves the file as HTML...

Thank you...
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.

Here's one way to do it;
Look up Help file for more info.

<pre/>
Sub MySaveAs()
Dim sFileSave As String
Dim sFileFrmt As String

'// Define your format here
sFileFrmt = "xls"
'// Define your Dir to saveto here
ChDir ("C:AAText")

sFileSave = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
If sFileSave = "False" Then Exit Sub

On Error GoTo ErrSave
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs (sFileSave & sFileFrmt)

Exit Sub
ErrSave:
MsgBox Err.Number & vbCr & _
Err.Description & vbCr _
, vbMsgBoxHelpButton, "Error", Err.HelpFile, Err.HelpContext
End Sub

</pre>

thank you... you're a great help!

I'll be able to adapt it (the macro) further with your macro as a guide...

Thanks again!
