    Save cell content as .scr file

    I would like to know is there a way to save a content of single cell (i would give it a name like a named range) to txt file but with an extension .scr (it would be a fixed name like "drawings.scr"). Its an autocad script routine. I use excel sheet to create one but i need some automation when saving it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi sakinen
    At its simplest the attached may get you going.
    Change your desired file location etc. in the macro before running it.
    The cell to be written just has a row,col reference not a Name in this example.
    Note you will probably have to rename the file to .txt to view it in Notepad

    Thanks a lot guys.
    SNB's code seems simpler and to the point. Shoots for a range like i need it.
    I consider this solved but i have another question. How to make a path for saving file in manner that its always saved in the folder where the excel file from which i use this macro resides.
    Thanks again
