Code:
Sub Test()

Dim DCM1 As String

DCM1 = Mid(ThisDocument.Name, 1, Len(ActiveDocument.Name) - 4)

    ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:="C:\Users\UI488820\Desktop\Logo" & DCM1 & "" & "test" & ".docx", FileFormat:= _
        wdFormatXMLDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles _
        :=False, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts _
        :=False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
        SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, CompatibilityMode:=14

End Sub

Get the 5251 error (can't remember exact number) saving the file path or file name . Here's some of the code above.

Please help!

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Here's the actual code if it helps.
Code:
Sub MailMerge2DOC()
Dim DokName As String
Dim DCM1 As String
DCM1 = Mid(ThisDocument.Name, 1, Len(ActiveDocument.Name) - 4)
'Set to First Record
ThisDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord = wdFirstRecord
'refresh
DocCheck2 = 0
DokName = 0
'limited
DocNo = 0 'limit start
'Restart Point
Restart:
If ThisDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("Employee_Number").Value = DocCheck2 Then
MsgBox "Duplicate Detected! " & ThisDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("Employee_Number").Value & " & " & DocCheck2 & ". If this is the last Payroll number in your Mail Merge then your Mail Merge is Complete."
Call MailMerge2PDF
Exit Sub
End If
'limiter
DocNo = DocNo + 1 '+1 to limiter
    With ThisDocument.MailMerge
        .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
        .SuppressBlankLines = True
        With .DataSource
            .FirstRecord = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord
            .LastRecord = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord
' Remember the wanted documentname
           DokName = .DataFields("Nickname").Value & " " & .DataFields("Last_name").Value & " " & .DataFields("Employee_Number").Value ' replace data fields with mail merge fields you want file name to be
        End With
Continue:
' Merge the active record
        .Execute Pause:=False
    End With
' Save then resulting document to DOC 'location to save files
    ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:="C:\Users\UI488820\Desktop\Logo" & DCM1 & Application.PathSeparator & DokName & ".docx", FileFormat:= _
        wdFormatXMLDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles _
        :=False, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts _
        :=False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
        SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, CompatibilityMode:=14
' Close the resulting document
If ActiveDocument <> ThisDocument Then
ActiveDocument.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
Else
End If
'duplicate check
DocCheck2 = vbNullString
DocCheck2 = ThisDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("Employee_Number").Value
' Load next record
    ThisDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord = wdNextRecord
'limiter
If DocNo = 500 Then 'default set at 500
MsgBox "500 Limit Reached. Speak to Joe or go into programming and extend limit (replace all 500's with new limit)."
Exit Sub
End If
'Restart
GoTo Restart
End Sub
