I created a macro that opens 4 workbooks (named Qtr 1, Qtr 2, Qtr 3, Qtr 4) from a larger workbook with 8 sheets.
I run code in each book and then I would like to close and save each one but I can't get that part to work. for the people who share the file with me.
I can only figure out how to save it to my desktop but not save to the desktop of others.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
 

Excel Facts

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Something like this:

Code:
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs CreateObject("WScript.Shell").specialfolders("Desktop") & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Name & ".xlsx"
ThisWorkbook.Close

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").specialfolders("Desktop") should get you the filepath for their desktop.

That closed the main workbook after copying the worksheet to a new workbook so the next 3 did not copy.
The new workbook didn't save.
The following code worked with my computer....Is there any modification I can make to this so that it can save to all.
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\Mike\Desktop\Qtr 1.xlsx", _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False

Sorry, I thought you were a bit more on top of things. It was just a loose example.

Here:

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= CreateObject("WScript.Shell").specialfolders("Desktop") & "\\Qtr 1.xlsx", _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False

FYI ThisWorkbook will refer to the book the Macro is in.
ActiveWorkbook will refer to whatever book is currently active.

No, just learning, but trying to become more proficient.
This worked very well.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
