Hi John, i tested and i think it works, but unfortunately i couldn't adapt it in my data. Many thanks for your support.

Code:
Public Sub SaveNext()
    Dim nextFileName As String
    nextFileName = GetNextFileName("C:\Users\User\Desktop\Employees Finger|n|.xlsx")
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fileName:=nextFileName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub


Private Function GetNextFileName(filePath As String) As String

    Dim n As Integer
    
    n = 0
    Do
        n = n + 1
        GetNextFileName = Replace(filePath, "|n|", n)
    Loop Until Dir(GetNextFileName) = vbNullString
    
End Function
