Hello there!

I am hoping someone could help me!

I am trying to save a worksheet as a text file which i know is definitely possible and has been achieved by many other people but for some reason it is not working for me.

Could someone take a look at my code and let me know where i have gone wrong please?

The error occurs at the SaveAs line.

The 'Me.FolderLocation.Value' object is one that the user selects themselves in a previous step so i know for certain the the file path works and i have even quality checked this by adding a Msgbox with the full file path.

Code:
Private Sub ButtonExportLog_Click()
Dim FName As String


FName = "Timesheet Upload Log Extract " & Format(Now, "DD-MMM-YY HH-MM") & ".txt"


Workbooks.Add
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1) = Me.TextBox.Value
ActiveSheet.SaveAs FileName:=Me.FolderLocation.Value & FName, FileFormat:=xlText
ActiveWorkbook.Close (False)
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
You are trying to save the ActiveSheet. Need to change it to ActiveWorkbook

No worries, I saw it as I entered the forum and it's an error I've had many times myself :oops:
