    Doing away with an Input box - how to change this code?

    I'm wanting to export a range of cells to a text file. There's a guide how to do this on the Microsoft Website...

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291296

    It works fine, except it's a little tiring having to input the filename & path each time. I'd rather have a cell on the active worksheet (that I wish to export from) setup with a filename...& use that cell value rather than have the input box popup.

    I've tried a few permutations, but can't get it to work!

    How can I modify the MS code (below), to rid me of the input box & just use file name taken from the contents of a nominated cell - for example if cell b:27 has the filename C:\1.TXT in it, the macro will then export the cells with that name.

    (I've only extracted the bits from their code that appoly to opening & creating the filename)

    Re: Don't want an input box, just the contents of a cell

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
    Hope that helps.
