"save as" macro help

I want to create a macro that has "save as" in it and automatically fills in the new file name by looking at the contents of a specific cell in the file.
Is this possible?

Hi Dyl,

Try something like:
'=========>>
Public Sub Tester()
Dim sStr As String

sStr = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1"). _
Range("A1").Value '<<===== CHANGE
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs sStr
End Sub
'<<=========

---
Regards,
Norman

Sure:
Sub test()
Dim FName
FName = Cells(1, 1).Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FName
End Sub

Hi, Dyl,

How about this as an example:

Foldername is a cell on the worksheet containing the folder that you want to
save to.
WeekNumber is a cell containing the week number
Year is a cell containing the year

Sub SaveMe() '[Control]+[Shift]+V

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set WeekNumber = Sheets("Database").Range("WeekNumber")
Set Year = Sheets("Database").Range("Year")
FolderName = Sheets("Database").Range("FolderName").Value
SaveString = Year.Value & "-" & _
Format(WeekNumber.Value, "00") & " " & "Consolidation.xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FolderName & SaveString, _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

This code saves the active workbook in the format 2005-42 Consolidation.xls
where the 2005 and 42 come from cells in the worksheet.
I'm sure you can adapt this to your requirements.

Regards

Pete
