Good morning folks,
I am having an issue saving my copy as read only. I have a master excel workbook that I use to save a copy to a specific folder on set up and production issues that I encounter on my machines. When I try to make the copy read only I am getting a run time error 76 Path not found. I am sure it is probably a syntax error of some type I am over looking. I thought I would appeal to the community to see if anyone notices what I am missing

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

If Len(Dir("C:\Users\hub204\Documents\Set Up Trend Data\ " & Sheet1.TextBox1.Value, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir "C:\Users\hub204\Documents\Set Up Trend Data\ " & Sheet1.TextBox1.Value
End If
Dim Filepath As String
Dim Filename1 As String
Dim Filename2 As String
Dim Filename3 As String

Application.EnableEvents = False



Filepath = "C:\Users\hub204\Documents\Set Up Trend Data\ " & Sheet1.TextBox1.Value & "\"
Filename1 = Sheet1.TextBox2.Value
Filename2 = Sheet1.TextBox5.Value
Filename3 = Sheet1.TextBox6.Value

ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filepath & Filename1 & "-" & Filename2 & "-" & Filename3 & ".xls"
SetAttr Filepath & Filename1 & "-" & Filename2 & "-" & Filename3, vbReadOnly

Sheet1.TextBox1.Value = ""
Sheet1.TextBox2.Value = ""
Sheet1.TextBox3.Value = ""
Sheet1.TextBox4.Value = ""
Sheet1.TextBox5.Value = ""
Sheet1.TextBox6.Value = ""
Application.EnableEvents = True


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop

Try adding the file extension:

VBA Code:
    SetAttr FilePath & Filename1 & "-" & Filename2 & "-" & Filename3 & ".xls", vbReadOnly

Thanks that fixed the error. Unfortunately it is not stopping people from editing textboxes. I'll have to find another way.
