I have code below to save my workbook file as WriteResPassword, but is there any way to get current workbook's path in the interface from
Application.GetSaveAsFilename? For now saving as interface displays document folder, so it requires 5-10 more clicks to get where I wanted.

Code:
Sub PasswordSave()Application.DisplayAlerts = FalseApplication.ScreenUpdating = False
SaveAsName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=SaveAsName, FileFormat:= _xlNormal, WriteResPassword:="test", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

Anything helps!

Thank you!

Put this before the SaveAsName. I haven't tested it but I use it for something I have for selecting files to open that uses GetOpenFilename(). My money is on it'll work here too.

ChDrive "C:"
ChDir "C:\folder location you want"

Thanks for the reply. You are idea is great, but
I would like to setup dynamic location so I can use any location with this macro.

End Sub

Thank you so much for the support, but I am getting an error when I open up the saved file "The file format or file extension is no valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file".
Did I make any mistake on the code?

Thank you!
