I have a button on my spreadsheet that makes a copy of the spreadsheet, here is a screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/kzrb83Vrar. When I try and make a new document it copies the spreadsheet but the 6 boxes from the Add 10% box get squashed up and I have no idea why. Here is a screenshot of what the file looks like when the new document is made https://www.screencast.com/t/IdCYyLBlVVAT.

The code behind the button that makes the new document is:

Code: 
Dim newDoc As String
    newDoc = "NPSS work allocation sheet " & Year(Now) + 1 & ".xlsm"

    
  
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=newDoc
    
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=newDoc
    
    With Sheets("home")
        .Range("B20") = "July " & Year(Now)
        .Range("B21") = "August " & Year(Now)
        .Range("B22") = "September " & Year(Now)
        .Range("B23") = "October " & Year(Now)
        .Range("B24") = "November " & Year(Now)
        .Range("B25") = "December " & Year(Now)
        .Range("E20") = "January " & Year(Now) + 1
        .Range("E21") = "February " & Year(Now) + 1
        .Range("E22") = "March " & Year(Now) + 1
        .Range("E23") = "April " & Year(Now) + 1
        .Range("E24") = "May " & Year(Now) + 1
        .Range("E25") = "June " & Year(Now) + 1
    End With
        
        
   
    
    With Workbooks(newDoc)
        .Sheets("July " & Range("E18")).Name = "July " & Year(Now)
            With Sheets("July " & Year(Now))
                .Range("A4:E2000").Clear
                .Range("A1").Value = "501 NPSS " & "July " & Year(Now) + 1
            End With
            
        .Sheets("August " & Range("E18")).Name = "August " & Year(Now)
            With Sheets("August " & Year(Now))
                .Range("A4:E2000").Clear
                .Range("A1").Value = "501 NPSS " & "August " & Year(Now)

            With Sheets("September " & Year(Now))
                .Range("A4:E2000").Clear
                .Range("A1").Value = "501 NPSS " & "September " & Year(Now) + 1

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
That works thanks in that it saves the file to the correct directory but I also get an error message when I press the button: "Run time error 1004: Sorry, we couldn't find NPSS work allocation sheet 2020.xlsm. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?"

If I step through the code, when it gets to the line workbooks.open filename:=Newdoc, I get the error message of Application defined or object defined error.

So I'm guessing this line at the start...

"NPSS work allocation sheet " & Year(Now) + 1 & ".xlsm"
Click to expand...
is incorrect...that's where you nnned to check first

This doesn't do anything. It still saves to the documents folder.

Please help Michael, I don't know what to do.

This is the code I have but it still won't work

Code: 
Private Sub cmdNewTool_Click()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="costings"
Dim W As Workbook
Dim newDoc As String
    Set W = ActiveWorkbook
'Dim wb As Workbook
    'Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
    newDoc = "NPSS work allocation sheet " & Year(Now) + 1 & ".xlsm"
    'ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=newDoc
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & newDoc
      
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=newDoc
    
    With Sheets("home")
        .Range("B20") = "July " & Year(Now)
        .Range("B21") = "August " & Year(Now)
        .Range("B22") = "September " & Year(Now)
        .Range("B23") = "October " & Year(Now)

            With Sheets("May " & Year(Now) + 1)
                .Range("A4:E2000").Clear
                .Range("A1").Value = "501 NPSS " & "May " & Year(Now) + 2
            End With
            
        .Sheets("June " & Range("E18") + 1).Name = "June " & Year(Now) + 1
            With Sheets("June " & Year(Now) + 1)
                .Range("A4:E2000").Clear
                .Range("A1").Value = "501 NPSS " & "June " & Year(Now) + 2

        .Sheets("All Costings").Range("A4:E2000").Clear
                    
    End With
    
W.Activate
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="costings"

End Sub

It says that it can't find the file called NPSS work allocation sheet 2020.xlsm, despite it already being copied to the correct directory.
