Hello,
I know that this is an easy question, and is perhaps due
to my Syntax (or at least that is the error I am getting).
I am trying to write a SaveAs function which would save
the Excel workbook using a reference to a cell. For
example, I would like to save the file as "***.xls", where
*** is the information contained in cell C4. So far I
have been trying to use the following, but it is not
working...

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\user\My documents\"
& "ActiveWorkbook.WorkSheet("Sheet1").Cells(3, 4)"
& ".xls",
 
Steve,

Get rid of the quotes in

"ActiveWorkbook.WorkSheet("Sheet1").Cells(3, 4)"

For example,

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\user\My documents\" & _
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheet("Sheet1").Cells(3, 4) & _
".xls"

Hi,
This is still giving me syntax error. Is it possible to
show me the entire code, include the ActiveWorkbook
statement? I`ve seen another example here in the
newsgroup, but trying that also did not work...
Thank you,
Steve
