Hi John,

i just changed value in cell I8 to 123-45679-000 and file got saved.

but i would not like to use "-" in my invoice no.

so is it possible that this invoice no with from cell I8 gets copied in cell M1, remove the special characters and then M1 is used for file saving.

"/" isn't valid in file names because it separates folder names. This code replaces "/" with "_":

fname = Replace(Sheets(1).Range("I8"), "/", "_") & " - " & _
            Sheets(1).Range("A11") & " - " & _
            Sheets(1).Range("H11") & ".pdf"

Edit - or if you want every "/" omitted then:

fname = Replace(Sheets(1).Range("I8"), "/", "") & " - " & _
            Sheets(1).Range("A11") & " - " & _
            Sheets(1).Range("H11") & ".pdf"
