Firstly, thank you for the invaluable information I get in here. I am no graceful in my macros but they work so i can't complain.
I have 4 Questions
I have a purchase order macro. Command Button is clicked and it opens a workbook and saves selected cells to next available row and saves workbook automatically.
This works great for me, but sometimes the others will move a row or a column and this causes issues. i go in and fix it and have shown them how to fix it but they can make it worse.

1 Can I set the cells by name instead of cell location (eg PODate instead of D6) so no matter where they are they will be found instead of by location?

2 I want to create a Command Button that will upon pressing open directly to the folder location I want to save it to and allows me to name it what i want to.
Or to save it as the Purchase Order Number and the Supplier Name. That would be cool to be able to save it as 2 cell locations on worksheet.

3 I want to also save the cell locations in bold below that are saved by command button already to a workbook to a worksheet in my purchase order workbook. This allows me to see orders at a glance without going to a main folder. and also make sure numbers aren't doubled up, etc.

When I open the purchase order workbook i want to auto update purchase number. my auto update seemed to create problem with command box sizes. Command Box sizes are frustrating.

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
P.S - I have been using the below to save as. but I want it to open to a specific place.


Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Dim file_name As Variant
file_name = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(FileFilter:="Microsoft Excel file (*.xls), *.xls")
If file_name <> False Then
ActiveWorkbook.SAVEAS Filename:=file_name
MsgBox "File Saved!"
End If
