I am really new to VBA's. I am trying to make a "create PDF" button to make a PDF out of the active tab. The file name would be using cells on the active tab then the name of the tab and then another cell.

I would also like it to prompt the user if a file of the same name exist and I would like it to auto save to the active users desktop.

thank you in advance for your help

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

IS the code attached to a CommandButton ???
If so, yes !...but the code you posted originally didn't show that.

The revised code that both @Logit and I posted added a Backslash after Desktop !!
As mentioned earlier, did you make sure that the cells refering to the filename are correct and DO NOT contain any illegal characters.

I might add that the code works fine for me !!

If you Rclick on the command button and select assign macro it will take you to the correct window to paste the code
