You can record a macro bu trouble is when recording a macro you cant use the cut and paste functions properly. I know that I want to do: siv = ActiveSheet.Cells(6, 2).Value ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\My Documents\"&siv".xls", FileFormat:= xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False but of course it doesnt like me stuffing the siv variable in like that so I am snookered. There is the save method NewBook.SaveAs Filename:=fName so I can swap fname for siv, but this doesnt let me state where it has to be saved :eek:
