I am writing a macro, a part of which is saving the current workbook. I dont
want the name of the file to be the same everytime... The path name should
stay the same but the name of the file should be taken from a cell in the
workbook (C5).

How can I write this into the macro?

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"P:\***path name***\Name of the file.xls" _
, FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False

Thanks for any help
 
Hi,

Set the variable mypath to the correct one and change Sht to the correct
worksheet and try this

mypath = "C:\"
Set sht = Sheets("Sheet1")

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
mypath & sht.Range("C5").Value _
, FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
 
Edit the sheetname.....

Dim strPath as String
Dim strFile as String

strPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
strFile = Sheets("Sheetname").Range("C5").Text & ".xls"

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= strPath & "\" & strFile, FileFormat:=xlNormal
