Save as not working

[RANDY IN NC]

Please I really need some help... Yesterday I made a post but I must not
have explained the problem well enough.. no response.. let me try
again.

The code follows..(yesterdays did not include the beginning)

When I first get turn on my computer in the morning the following code
will fail at "save as".... If i create a manual dummy excel file and
manually save it to the ftp sight... that save will work... then I can
go back to the workbook that contains the macro and then it works just
fine....

I am running windows 2000 it had been run on a machine that is running
xp with the same result.. and one machine with xp that it worked fine
on..
(It was written using excel 2000)

I need any suggestion I can get... there is something here that I do
not understand...

Hi Randy

Never saved to ftp:// before, but I thought I would be polite and reply

Are you sure there is something in A2

You seem to be missing a point (period if your in NC I suppose) in front of
the Range("A2").Text line

All the best

Thank you for your reply I do appriciate it... And yes there is
something in "a2" and I guess it does not show up well in the copy I
made for this post... but there is a point (period) preceeding the word
"range" in that line.

Thank you so much, any help is appriciated..
