Is it possible to create a macro to rename and save a file based on a cells content? For example, if the name in cell C2 is "John Doe" and D3 has the word "April", I want to rename the current file to John Doe and the current worksheet to April. Can you do this?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
Here are some examples

Code:
Sub SaveAndRename()
 Sheets(1).Name = Range("D3").Value
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        "C:\Documents and Settings\........\Testme\" & Range("C2").Value & ".xlsm", , FileFormat:= _
        xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
   
    
End Sub

Thank-you. Is this the same for both 2003 and 2007? Also can you have it open the "Save As" dialog box and prepopulate the box with the name in the cell?

Thanks again,
Paul
