    Macros to save worksheet based on cell reference

    Hi

    Could someone please help me with this? I have a macros ( code inserted ) as you can see in my code the macros save the workbook in any file name you chose just by changing the any filename option.

    I would like this to be changed so that it saves based on a cell reference, say i has a name in lets say B10 i would like it to save as the name in B10.

    Re: Macros to save worksheet based on cell reference

    I managed to get this sorted but i am still having a problem with my sheet, when the macros saves it, it is not saving exactly the way the sheet is before its saved. My page breaks do not keep the original setting and some of the cells save smaller than they were originally. Is there anyway to fix this?

    Consider using SaveCopyAs

    You would be best to indicate the sheet as well as the range
    Hope that helps.

    Hi Roy thanks for the reply

    I forgot to insert the code after i fixed the first problem

    the code is below, the B10 is a cell referece the sheet saves as. Its all works well now but when i open the saved sheet all the page breaks are messed up and a couple of colums have got smaller. I would like it to save exactly like the original sheet if possible

    Re: Macros to save worksheet based on cell reference

    I have noticed that after the macros saves the file to my destination folder, it not only does not save my original page breaks it also sets my colums to the same width. Example, i have Column A set at 4.5 Column B set at 15 Column C 4.83 etc, once it is saved it sets all the columns to 8.43, This is messing my sheet up, can it be fixed?

    Hi Roy


    I have inserted a sample of my sheet, as you will see the page break and the colums are set, once it is saved it all changes


    Make a folder in your c: drive called files before you save the file


    DonkeyOte sorry about not putting the link to the other post
