Hi all,

Can you help me, I am trying to create a folder called "JJS Submission Docs" on a users desktop however the use is not defined and then save the particular file in this folder as an xlsx file instead of the original xlsm as I do not want the macros in the newly saved version. What I have so far is below but unfortunately it doesn't work:

VBA Code:
Sub SaveToDeskTop()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Dim usrnme As String
Dim myFolderName As String
Dim myFileName As String

'Get username
usrnme = Environ("username")

Sheets("Level 3 PPAP Requirements").Select

    ActiveSheet.Unprotect
    
    Range("G4").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("I1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Range("G6").Select
    
'   Build folder name with today's date
    myFolderName = Environ("username") & "\JJS Submission Docs\"

'   Check to see if folder name exists already.  If not, create it
    If (Dir(myFolderName, vbDirectory)) = "" Then MkDir myFolderName

'   Build file name - the filename is in cell i1 on tab Level 3 PPAP Requirements"
    myFileName = Range("i1") & ".xlsx"
    
    ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=False

Sheets("1. PSW").Select

'   Save file
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=myFolderName & "\" & myFileName, _
        FileFormat:=51, CreateBackup:=False

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub


If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try
VBA Code:
myFolderName = Environ("userprofile") & "\Desktop\JJS Submission Docs\"

Try
VBA Code:
myFolderName = Environ("userprofile") & "\Desktop\JJS Submission Docs\"

Many thanks for this it then jump to another error but that was pretty simple to solve as it was the folder location with filename had an - & "\" -
and it didn't need it.

Code used is below for reference:

VBA Code:
Sub SaveToDeskTop()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Dim usrnme As String

'Get username
usrnme = Environ("username")

Sheets("Level 3 PPAP Requirements").Select

    ActiveSheet.Unprotect
    
    Range("G4").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("I1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Range("G6").Select
    
Dim myFolderName As String
    Dim myFileName As String
    
'   Build folder name with today's date
    myFolderName = Environ("userprofile") & "\Desktop\JJS Submission Docs\"


'   Check to see if folder name exists already.  If not, create it
    If (Dir(myFolderName, vbDirectory)) = "" Then MkDir myFolderName


'   Build file name
    myFileName = Range("i1") & ".xlsx"
    

    ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=False

Sheets("1. PSW").Select

'   Save file
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=myFolderName & myFileName, _
        FileFormat:=51, CreateBackup:=False
Dim FileName1 As String


Application.DisplayAlerts = True


End Sub
