Hi
I have the following code, which works as I want it until it reaches the end, when a msgbox is supposed to show, except that I actually get the file save dialogue box appear.
If I click on cancel it recycles and eventually comes up with an error
Any Ideas much appreciated

VBA Code:
Public Response As Variant

Sub CreateandSaveNewsletterToNewFile()
'
' saveNewsletterToNewFile Macro

    Unload Menu
    'Create Newsletter List
    ScreenUpdating = False
    Sheets("Newsletter").Select
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
    Sheets("TMES Members").Copy After:=Sheets(3)
    Sheets("TMES Members (2)").Select
    Sheets("TMES Members (2)").Name = "Newsletter"
    Columns(10).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(10).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(10).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
    Columns(11).EntireColumn.Delete
  
    Range("A3").FormulaR1C1 = "Newsletter & E-News List"
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Rounded Rectangle 1")).Select
    Selection.Cut
    Sheets("Newsletter").Copy
      
    Dim Path As String
    Dim Folder As String
    Dim Answer As VbMsgBoxResult
  
    'Update the path to a valid path on your PC
    Path = "D:\Tonbridge MES"
    Folder = Dir(Path, vbDirectory)
  
    If Folder = vbNullString Then
        Answer = MsgBox("Path D:\Tonbridge MES does not exist. Would you like to create it?        Yes = Create Path D:\Tonbridge MES & File will be attached to Emails          No = File Newsletter List.xlsm will be saved to your own location & will have to be attached to Email manually", vbYesNo, "Create the Path for Newsletter List.xlsm")
        Select Case Answer
            Case vbYes
                VBA.FileSystem.MkDir (Path)
                ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="D:\Tonbridge MES\Newsletter List.xlsm", FileFormat:=52
                ActiveWorkbook.Close
                GoTo Ownsavelocation
            Case Else
               Response = InputBox("Please enter the location where you would like the file saved to.", _
               "Where would you like to save Newsletter List.xlsm ?")
               ' Create Folder using variable Response
               ' Check if cancel pressed
            Select Case StrPtr(Response)
                 Case 0
                 'OK not pressed
                 ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
                 Exit Sub
                 Case Else
                 If Len(Dir(Response, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
                 MkDir Response
