Hi, I currently use the below code for some of our workbooks to auto save with a filename made up of cell values and automatically saves to a predetermined location.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Path As String
Dim FileName1 As String
Dim Filename2 As String
Path = "C:\Users\desired file path etc"
FileName1 = Range("I7")
Filename2 = Range("C26")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Path & "CIS-" & FileName1 & " - " & Filename2 & ".xlsm"
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show
End Sub

However I now have some workbooks that i wish to still have the file name auto named (to avoid user error and maintain file name consistency / formatting) but I want the user to be able to manually select the file path.

Is this possible?

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Untested, but try
Code:
Sub Fldr()

   Dim Fldr As Object
   Dim pth As String
   Dim FileName1 As String
   Dim Filename2 As String

   Set Fldr = Application.FileDialog(4)
   With Fldr
      .title = "Select a Folder"
      .AllowMultiSelect = False
      .Show
      pth = .SelectedItems(1)
   End With
   FileName1 = Range("I7")
   Filename2 = Range("C26")
   ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=pth & "\CIS-" & FileName1 & " - " & Filename2 & ".xlsm"
End Sub
