Hello!

I am trying to learn how to use VBA & am still struggling to learn the language. I have a little background in programming (I took a few classes in college) but nothing training wise that is related to VBA.

That said I am trying to create a macro that will do 3 specific things:

  1. Paste into a specific cell in the document I am working in. (I'll be copying from another excel book)
  2. Save in a particular format. Both in a specific location that is on a shared drive & with the title I have set up in the sheet.
  3. Email (through outlook) to a specific email address with a generic text in the body of the email.
Here is the start of my code (I have only gotten to part 2 so far)

Code:
Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'


'
    Range("C14").Select
    ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="HTML", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:= _
        False, NoHTMLFormatting:=True
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
         Sheets("sheet1").Cells(1, 1).value_
         FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False  **
End Sub
[/end code]

The ** is where the error is at currently.  (I haven't been able to affirm that this code does what I want it to yet since I haven't been able to figure out what to do about the error.) 

"Compile error: Syntax error"

Background information: The file that is being updated is an internal order form.  I am sending 30-70 nearly identical copies of this form to the order department with the only change being 1 cell (C14) having the pasted in ID.  

The file needs to save in the following format (which I think I figured out how to do) 
C14-CMM-DDMMYY in a particular folder.

I ended up putting this in a separate sheet & it will auto-populate the cell with what I need...I think anyway.  Name of this sheet is "sheet1"

=CONCATENATE("L:\data\Chelsea\Internal Orders\",TEXT(TEMPLATE!C14,"####"),"-CMM-",TEXT(TEMPLATE!O4,"mmddyy"))

comes out as: L:\data\Chelsea\Internal Orders\2227-CMM-101515
I am using Microsoft 2013. 

Any suggestions, coding ideas, resources, videos, etc would be appreciated.  

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
