    Insert variable in file name creation?

    I have a question. I'm trying to modify some code I wrote for bulk loading phones.

    The phone format is the same across phones, but I need them in individual files.

    In my code I loop through cells for each phone and create files.

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    There are 25 different phones so I have create data sets and file names for all

    I load the phone type in a varible is there away I can create something like this:

    Set objuserLine = fso.createtextfile("C:\temp\UserLine<phone varible>.txt")

    That way I can create the phone type files on the fly.

    any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Mike
