VBA Code:
Sub WO_SaveUpdate()
Dim WORow As Long, WOCol As Long
Dim AssignedTo As String, SharedFolder As String, FileName As String, FilePath As String

ActiveWorkbook.Save
   
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
With Sheet1
 If .Range("D4").Value = Empty Or .Range("H4").Value = Empty Or .Range("D10").Value = Empty Or .Range("C15").Value = Empty Then
    MsgBox "Please Complete Yellow Boxes"
    Exit Sub
 End If
 End With


With Sheet3
If .Range("C4").Value = Empty Then
    MsgBox "Please add in a shared folder location"
    Exit Sub
End If
End With

With Sheet2
If Worksheets("WO Data").Range("B11").Value = True Then 'new WOrk order
    WORow = .Range("C99999").End(xlUp).Row + 1  'First Avail. Row
Else ' Existing Work Order
End If
End With


With Sheet1
 For WOCol = 3 To 11
   Sheet2.Cells(WORow, WOCol).Value = .Range(.Cells(30, WOCol).Value).Value 'Place values in WO Row
    Sheet4.Range(.Cells(29, WOCol).Value).Value = .Range(.Cells(30, WOCol).Value).Value 'Place Values in WO Template
 Next WOCol

Sheet2.Range("B12").Value = WORow


'Create/Update Work Order in Shared folder if status is Open

    AssignedTo = .Range("H4").Value 'Assigned To
    SharedFolder = Sheet3.Range("C4").Value 'Shared Folder location
    FileName = "Work Order_" & .Range("D6").Value 'File Name Work Order & #
    If Dir(SharedFolder & "\" & AssignedTo, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir (SharedFolder & "\" & AssignedTo) 'Create Folder if it does not exist
    FilePath = SharedFolder & "\" & AssignedTo & "\" & FileName & ".xlsx"
    On Error Resume Next
    Kill (FilePath)
    On Error GoTo 0
    Sheet4.Range("A1:B26").Copy
    Workbooks.Add
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteColumnWidths
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FilePath
    ActiveWorkbook.Close False
    Sheet2.Range("G" & WORow).Value = Now 'Update Assigned On to Current date & Time
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    
End If

End With
End Sub
 
I would like the code to make a folder and save the file inside the folder it makes and yes sheet 1 is Work Order and so on

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
As per your explanation in Post #11
Change references as required.
Code:
Sub Like_So()
Dim pth As String
pth = CreateObject("wscript.shell").specialfolders(10) & "\Whatever Name You Want The Folder To Be"
MkDir pth
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs pth & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
End Sub

VBA Code:
  FileName = "Work Order_" & .Range("D6").Value 'File Name Work Order & #(This Range is on Pic 1 it will change everytime work order is generated)
This is my file name inside the folder after it creates the folder and saves the file.

VBA Code:
FilePath = SharedFolder & "\" & AssignedTo & "\" & FileName & ".xlsx"(Pic 1 shows assigned to its a drop down box i can choose)

I need to save it as the location and assigned to(which is folder name) and file name with extension .xlsx

Do you want to save a sheet into the folder on the desktop as a workbook or the whole workbook with the 4 sheets ("Work Order", "WO Data", "Name" and "WO") as an .xlsx type workbook?

If the Folder "AssignedTo" does not exist on the Desktop, it will create it.
The whole Workbook with all 4 Sheets will be saved in the "AssignedTo" Folder.
The File Name will be as the Value in "D6" in Sheet "Work Order".
It will be saved as a non macro (.xlsx) type file.
If there is a File with the same name in the Folder already, it will tell you to change the filename and exit the macro.
Code:
Sub Like_So_B()
Dim pth As String, fn As String
pth = CreateObject("wscript.shell").specialfolders(10) & "\AssignedTo"
fn = "Work Order_" & Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D6").Value & ".xlsx"
If Dir(pth, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir pth
If Dir(pth & "\" & fn) <> "" Then MsgBox "Duplicate File Name! Start Over With Different File Name.": Exit Sub
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs pth & "\" & fn, FileFormat:=51
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

I got it to save the folder and file on desktop but I had to delete the "If .Range("D8").Value = "Open" Then"
Also change-SharedFolder = Sheet3.Range("C4").Value 'Shared Folder location to SharedFolder = "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop"
I was pulling Shared folder from sheet3 pic below and would like to continue doing it that way if possible and also I need my "If .Range("D8").Value = "Open" Then - also if its possible on Pic1 below

We have 19 posts and nothing accomplished yet.
As requested previously, explain in a concise manner what you want to achieve. That means step by step including cell addresses, sheet names and whatever you have, in the order you would do it manually. No Pictures anymore.
