Hi
When I run the code below, I get this message

But that defeat the purpose. I mean, if I entered file name as Hello.xlsm, sill I get that message.
How can I improve that code?

By the way, if I save the file as "*.xlsm" before running that code and then when I run the code below, I wont get that massage. But if the file was a new (for example its name is Book1) then running the code below will get me that message. Thanks a lot.

Code:
Sub mysaveas()
    Dim xfile As String
    xfile = InputBox("enter file name with extension")
    Workbooks(1).SaveAs Filename:=xfile
End Sub

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
I think you need to specify the file format in the saveas routine.

Code:
Workbooks(1).SaveAs Filename:=xfile, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled

Not really. If I can make it flexible that is even better. Thank you all for the help.

Ok, how about
Code:
Sub mysaveas()
    Dim xfile As String
    Dim Frmt As Long
    xfile = InputBox("enter file name with extension")
    Select Case Mid(xfile, InStrRev(xfile, ".") + 1)
      Case "xls": Frmt = 56
      Case "xlsx": Frmt = 51
      Case "xlsm": Frmt = 52
      Case "xlsb": Frmt = 50
   End Select
   If Frmt = 0 Then Exit Sub
    Workbooks(1).SaveAs xfile, Frmt
End Sub
