saving the spreed sheet by clicking on a cell?

[Guest]

I have made an Excel spreed sheet for my students that they need to fill out
with some data. They also enter their ID number in a specific cell. I want to
create a cell (let call it "Save" button) so that when the students click on
it, it automatically save the file with their ID number which was entered in
the specific cell in my directory.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi!

You can simply click on the "Save" icon on the Standard toolbar (if you
display that toolbar). It looks like a floppy disk.

If I've read it correctly, perhaps one close fit to what you're after can be
found at this googled post:

which contains a complete macro by Ed Millis
(needs to be slightly adapted to suit ..)

Hang around awhile for insights from others versed in vba ..

we want to click on one of the cells to automatically pick up the ID number
(which is entered by barcoder in another cell) and save it in a specific
directory to prevent any mistake in typing as the ID is a long number.
