Hello
My button is to open the SaveAs dialog box so the user can pick the path for the worksheet.
II would like the file name and file type pre-filled in on the SaveAs dialog box

here is my 'not working' code

Rich (BB code):
Sub Button72_Click()

Dim fname As String
fname = Range("g9") & Range("h9")

       Application.GetSaveAsFilename , (fname)
      ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=fname, FileFormat:=52
   
End Sub

This code launches the Save dialog box but doesn't fill in the 'Save As' or 'File Format' boxes
If I click the 'Save' button on the dialog box it saves a file with the correct name but no .xlsm extension making the file unusable unless you manually add the extension.

Anyone see the issue?
Thanx
Tom
 
VBA Code:
Sub SaveInvoice()

Dim fname As String
fname = "test"

        'MsgBox (fname)
       
            saveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=fname, _
            fileFilter:="Microsoft Excel Worksheet (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
      
      If saveName <> False Then
            ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=fname, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
      End If
      
End Sub
