Greetings,

I have a macro that creates a new workbook and saves it with the file name composed of a number in cell A09.

Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\TDN Forms\" & Worksheets("Rev #").Range("AO9") & ".xlsx", CreateBackup:=False

How can I insert a prefix to the file name? Currently it saves the file as just a number, 35.xlxs, but I would like it to save the file as TDN-35.xlxs

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

~ Phil
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
You could put TDN-35 in cell AO9. If that's not acceptable try:
Rich (BB code):
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\TDN Forms\" & "TDN-" & Worksheets("Rev #").Range("AO9") & ".xlsx", CreateBackup:=False

Thank you very much!

As is usually the case, I made a newbie error and had the quote marks wrong.
