Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
.
Code:
Option Explicit


Public Sub SaveWB()
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="[COLOR=#333333]C:\data\data123\[/COLOR]" & ThisWorkbook.Name 
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="[COLOR=#333333]C:\data\backup\data123_backup[/COLOR]\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
End Sub

many thanks for you help.
The user wants to save to :-

H:\Asset

[FONT=&quot]and the backup to:-
[/FONT]
H:\Asset\Backup

[FONT=&quot]I altered the path in your code to:-
Code:
[/FONT][/COLOR]  ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Asset" & ThisWorkbook.Name[COLOR=#201F1E][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT][/COLOR]
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Asset\Backup" & ThisWorkbook.Name[COLOR=#201F1E][FONT=&quot]

but although it goes through the motaions ( no erros received ) it does not work?

Note the \ at the end of the path ...

Code:
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Asset\" & ThisWorkbook.Name


    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Asset\Backup\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
