Save as cell with path

C

Curben

I am working file that will generate invoices and then delete its
information and the macro to make it smaller and simpler for email.
There are a few tricks I cannot seem to accomplish and I was hoping to
get some help.

The file takes the data from a website via copy and paste then pulls
the nessecary data from a few sheets in the workbook. Then there is a
button to run the macro which does the following:

- Replace the invoice formulas with the values itself - Done
- Delete the now unnessecary (3) sheets leaving only the invoice -
Done
- Delete the Button used to run the macro - Done
- Save as a filename in a particular cell in a particular subfolder -
Partial
- Have the macro delete itself - Done


The issues are the subfolder, it will save in "My Documents" as the
cell reference, but I cannot figure out how to also to get it in a
subfolder called "Proformas".
Also If possible I would like the saved file to have the macro deleted
w/o having to save the file on close. the saved version still has the
macro in the files unless i hit save or choose to keep changes on
close. These two little things are the only hurdles for this lil
project (so Far), any help will be appreciated.
Current Macro Below


Code:

Dim vbCom As Object
Set vbCom = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents

vbCom.Remove VBComponent:= _
vbCom.Item("GenerateProforma")

Why not just append "Proformas\" to the beginning of your Save path?

You could always have the Module in a different workbook A, and all of
your functions operate on the file you opened (workbook B).

I have tried a few methods of doing that, none have worked while usin
the range and I am not nearly proficient enough to figure out any othe
ways of combining.

Will not work, this will be distributed to too many users at random an
to utilize multiple workbooks would counteract the goal of simplifing i
for the masses
