    vba to save document to specific file path

    All

    I would like to change the following code I have 'borrowed' and am stuck as how to go about it...

    The below code is a section where I am asked to enter the file path to save a document.... I want to miss this step and save the document to a specific file path "G:\Sharon\Data_Integrity"

    I have not used the DestFolder before so am unsure as to how to change this...

    any thoughts muchly appreciated

    rgds

    Sharon

    In my example you can replace fPATH with DestFolder if that's your preferred syntax. Then the rest of your code will work the same.

    I am so missing something and it has been a while since I did any VBA work (albeit beginner)

    Below is what I have and keeps asking me to name the file in the location

    Re: vba to save document to specific file path

    In post #1 you properly presented the "portion" of code that controls that popup request for a DestFolder.

    In Post #2 I offered a replacement for that "portion" of code.

    So in your main macro, just remove that whole section you presented to us and replace it with the one line:

    The rest of your macro I presume works fine, so this would "hardcode" that DestFolder into the macro and no more popup, you took it out.

    I had this working wonderfully but now doesn't want to play the game.

    I have attached the code that is from

    Philip Treacy
    ' http://www.MyOnlineTrainingHub.com/v...t-with-outlook

    with the DestFolder changed (note changed the file path)

    I added a .Body and then copied the VBA to another Object and then the file wouldn't save....I have 9 worksheets that I need to apply this VBA to and have changed the Sub aaa() to reflect the different worksheet names....

    It would appear I have done something....... but no idea what

    I would ideally also like CurrentMonth to be whatever is in ("C6") and by adding ActiveSheet.Range("c6")nothing happens

    Any thoughts

    Re: vba to save document to specific file path

    In post #1 you posted a large section of code, the ENTIRE thing works to present a popup to help store a DestFolder result to be used later.
    That entire section that you posted originally should be removed from your original macro completely. All of it, all the code from WITH to END WITH.

    In post #6 I suggested the single line of code you would put in its place.

    Don't change anything else in your original macro and it will do as you wish.

    Re: vba to save document to specific file path

    thanks JBeaucaire

    ...going get to the end of this....

    I did use your line of code and replaced all the other as suggested....I also changed the OpenPDFAfterCreating to true as I want to view before sending, and I changed the reference for the current month from h6 to c6 - this is all I changed and now I have an error

    'Document not saved. The document may be open, or an error may have been encountered when saving.'

    Document is not open as it doesn't exist yet....

    .... and I don't understand why it worked yesterday and not now...

    Re: vba to save document to specific file path

    thanks JBeaucaire

    I have solved the issue.... thanks for your advice.

    and

    The file wouldn't save as I had a field in the 'report' output that was in 'date format' ... changed this cell to text and all works wonderfully....

    thanks again for your help on this
