I see no reason for a userform. Why don't you use formfields or content controls? What happens if the user doesn't complete one or more of the fields or makes a mistake? As for the save process, what is meant to trigger it? Saving to a specific location is easy, but what about if there is already a file of that name there?

Hi macropod

Your Question:

My Reply:
I am not too sure userform ,etc.. But see attachment how i would like like to appear for user.
If user does not fill any data then these field will be blank but still save.
Saving to specific location C:\Users\ whatever the active user \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures
The macro must determine based on current login session or user profile used.
And yes if file (Albaraka.htm) exist then must replace file without confiming the user

OK, so you have a userform. What code are you using (please post it) and what parts are you having trouble with? The save code need be no more complicated than:

Thank you macropod.

Shabeersa,

I'm afraid your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
