VBA saving

[Guest]

I want to create a macro to save a document as a number i use for a cell reference (ie cell B2 = 18112 so i want the document to be called 18112.xls) Also i have a folder with this reference to start with can excel be programed to find this folder and use it to save in

Cheers

Chris,

If the folder name is in B1 and the file name is in B2, use code
like

ThisWorkbook.SaveAs filename:=Range("B1").Value & "\" _
Range("B2").Value & ".xls"

Hi Chris,

You are missing an ampersand before the linebreak character, try:

ThisWorkbook.SaveAs filename:=Range("B1").Value & "\" & _
Range("B2").Value & ".xls"

Cheers for that norma

now it has worked but how do i specify where to save it in the code i need it to save on "\\MARLOWESERVER\Contracts\Contracts on Second Drive"but within this is a folder called 16100-16199 or 16200-16299 etc then in there will be the folder 16170 for example. can excell be programmed to save 16170.xlsin the appropriate folder
