    Question Save workbook via Command Button????

    I have a workbook with a command button and need to save the workbook with a date as the file name. The date is in cell "A5" and the file I need to save it to is "Midtown Farm". Can anyone help please???

    Do you mean you have a file you want to save called 'Midtown Farm' and
    you want to append the date in cell 'A5' to the end of the filename?
    If so and the onClick event of the command button triggers the save
    operation then you could do something like this:

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

    Dim sDate as string

    sDate = Format(Activesheet.Range("A5").Value, "yyyymmdd")

    Thisworkbook.SaveAs "Midtown Farm_" & sDate

    End Sub

    Sorry I misunderstood. In which case:

    Thisworkbook.SaveAs "C:\My Documents\Midtown Farm\" & sDate

    A note of caution however: 'My Documents' is not always where you think
    it is. If you are on a standalone desktop then it is probably where
    I've indicated, if you are on a corporate network then it may well be
    on a network drive. To resolve the location open Explorer and
    right-click->Properties on 'My Documents' the 'Target' tab will show
    you the full path to the folder and then you just stick that in the
    SaveAs command as I've shown.
