    Hello sgreni,

    This version of your Save macro first displays a message dialog to tell the user what to do. Next, it displays the GetSavesFileName dialog which allows the user to choose the directory and enter the new workbook name.

    Gentlemen,

    Thank you for your replies. They were both very helpful. I am still learning about how powerful Macros are and I appreciate your insights.

    Regards,
