On a related note. Is there a way that it can save to a folder named as the
CustomerName.
In other words. I have a folder called Quotes. Within this I have sub
-folders named after each customer where there quotes are saved. Ideally I
would like to save each customers quote in the proper folder and in the event
the customer had no folder yet it would simply save to the main quote folder.
Is this possible.
Thanks
Steve
This is the code I'm using
Sub SaveWorkbookToFolder()
Dim CustomerName As String
Dim InvoiceNumber As String
Dim SaveToPath As String
Dim userInput As String
Dim anyFilename As String
'Change A1 to the cell your QuoteName is in
'Change B1 to the cell your CustomerName is in
QuoteName = Range("E8").Value
CustomerName = Range("B6").Value
'Change to the folder path need to be sure you have a \ at the end of path
SaveToPath = "\\C:\Documents and Settings\FaroTemplate\Desktop\Quotes\"
anyFilename = QuoteName & _
"_" & CustomerName & ".xls"
If Dir(SaveToPath & anyFilename) = "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=SaveToPath & anyFilename
Else
Select Case MsgBox _
("A file named: '" & anyFilename & " already exists in " & SaveToPath _
& vbCrLf & "What would you like to do?" & vbCrLf _
& "Overwrite the existing file? [Yes]" & vbCrLf _
& "Save file with a different name? [No]" & vbCrLf _
& "Cancel - do not save this file at this time. [Cancel]", _
vbYesNoCancel + vbExclamation + vbDefaultButton2, "Save Invoice To Folder ")
Case Is = vbYes
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=SaveToPath & anyFilename
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Case Is = vbNo
userInput = "dummy entry to make it work"
GetFileNameFromUser:
Do While userInput <> ""
anyFilename = InputBox$("Enter a new filename to use:", _
"Commission Manager", CustomerName & _
"_" & InvoiceNumber)
If Right(UCase(Trim(anyFilename)), 4) <> ".XLS" Then
anyFilename = anyFilename & ".xls"
End If
If ValidateFilename(anyFilename) <> "" Then
MsgBox _
"The filename you have entered is not a valid filename." _
& vbCrLf & _
"Filenames may not have any of these characters in them:" _
& vbCrLf & _
" \ / : * ? < > | " & Chr$(34) & vbCrLf _
& "Please provide a valid filename.", _
vbOKOnly, "Invalid Filename"
GoTo GetFileNameFromUser
End If
If Trim(UCase(anyFilename)) = ".XLS" Then
If MsgBox("You have chosen to Cancel the file save." & _
"Did you really intend to Cancel this operation?", _
vbYesNo + vbInformation, "Confirm Cancel") <> vbYes Then
GoTo GetFileNameFromUser
Else
anyFilename = ":* QUIT *:"
userInput = ""
End If
End If
If userInput <> "" Then
userInput = Dir(SaveToPath & anyFilename)
End If
Loop
If anyFilename <> ":* QUIT *:" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=SaveToPath & anyFilename
End If
Case Else
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWindow.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Select
End If
End Sub
Private Function ValidateFilename(anyFilename As String) As String
Dim InvalidCharacterList As String
InvalidCharacterList = "\/:*?<>|" & Chr$(34)
Dim LC As Integer
ValidateFilename = ""
If Len(Trim(anyFilename)) = 0 Then
ValidateFilename = "EMPTY"
Exit Function
End If
anyFilename = Trim(anyFilename)
For LC = 1 To Len(anyFilename)
If InStr(InvalidCharacterList, Mid(anyFilename, LC, 1)) Then
ValidateFilename = Mid(anyFilename, LC, 1)
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
I pasted yours and made on modification. I changed the Labels to QuoteName
and CustomerName. Other than that it is just as you wrote it.
Thanks in advance
