Thanks for looking at my post.

What I would like to do is have a macro in a workbook that when run it would create a folder with the same name as the excel file in the same location. Then I would like it to somehow save the excel file in the folder that was just created and delete or kill the old one.

Make since??

If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Hi,
Try this:
Rich (BB code):
Sub Test()
  Dim i As Long, Path As String, NewPath As String, FileName As String, WbName As String
  Path = ThisWorkbook.Path
  FileName = ThisWorkbook.Name
  WbName = Left(FileName, InStrRev(FileName, ".") - 1)
  If UCase(Path) Like "*" & UCase(WbName) Then Exit Sub
  NewPath = Path & "\" & WbName
  MkDir NewPath
  ThisWorkbook.SaveAs NewPath & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
  Kill Path & "\" & FileName
End Sub
Regards

Similar ...

Code:
Option Explicit


Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim fso As Object
    Dim Filename As String
    Dim fldrpath As String
    Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
    Filename = ActiveWorkbook.Name
    If InStr(Filename, ".") > 0 Then
       Filename = Left(Filename, InStr(Filename, ".") - 1)
    End If
    fldrpath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & Filename
    If Not fso.folderexists(fldrpath) Then
        fso.createfolder (fldrpath)
    End If
    ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs fldrpath & "\" & Filename & ".xlsm"
    With ThisWorkbook
        .Saved = True
        .ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
        Kill .FullName
        Application.Quit
    End With
End Sub

Sure, just replace ThisWorkbook by ActiveWorkbook:
Rich (BB code):
Sub Test()
  Dim i As Long, Path As String, NewPath As String, FileName As String, WbName As String
  Path = ActiveWorkbook.Path
  FileName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
  WbName = Left(FileName, InStrRev(FileName, ".") - 1)
  If UCase(Path) Like "*" & UCase(WbName) Then Exit Sub
  NewPath = Path & "\" & WbName
  MkDir NewPath
  ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs NewPath & "\" & ActiveWorkbook.Name
  Kill Path & "\" & FileName
End Sub
The same is for the code of Logit
