Only problem is that I need an individual name for each file saved. This
saves into same file name over and over.

Hi Rob

You can use the Date/Time in the file name maybe

Do you want to save the same file a few times with a different name
(Do I understand you correct ?)

Please explain what you want to do

Hi Ron,

I need to save different files in sequence. The process I have created cuts
a reference number from ws 1, pastes into ws 2 that has vlookup formulas to
retrieve other information from the reference number pasted, then prints, and
then saves each file with different information. This process repeats until
there are no more reference numbers.

I am having some trouble with the saving. I have listed the code below that
I have been trying to develop for "saving as".

ChDir "S:\RVI\Documents\BNS References\Audit Memos"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"S:\RVI\Documents\BNS References\Audit Memos\BNSTest\B200.xls",
FileFormat _
:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="",
ReadOnlyRecommended:= _
False, CreateBackup:=False
fName = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
' remove .xls
fName = Left(fName, Len(fName) - 4)
i = 0
Do
i = i + 0.1
fName1 = fName & i & ".xls"
Loop Until Dir(fName1) = ""
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fName1

I'm not sure if this is of any help, but any assistance would be appreciated.

Rob

Hi Rob

Test this

With the reference numbers in Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A5")
it will copy the value in the loop in Sheets("Sheet2").Range("D1")

Then print and save the file with a number in the PathStr folder


Sub test()
Dim PathStr As String
Dim cell As Range
Dim i As Long

PathStr = "S:\RVI\Documents\BNS References\Audit Memos\BNSTest\"

i = 0

With Sheets("Sheet2")

'loop through the reference numbers In Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A5")
For Each cell In Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A5")

'D1 in Sheets("Sheet2") is the lookup value of your vlookup formulas
.Range("D1").Value = cell.Value
Application.Calculate
.PrintOut
i = i + 1
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs PathStr & Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 4) & i
Next cell

End With

End Sub

Oops, forget this
& ".xls"


ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs PathStr & Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, _
Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 4) & i & ".xls"
