Has anyone had any luck saving a Word file to a folder named in an Excel file. I already use Excel for my tasks list, and just thought it would be great to save documents as I draft to a client's folder. I got it working in the actual Word document, without the cell reference for the folder, but it is blowing up when I try to use Excel to do the commands in Word. This is what I have:

Sub WordSave() 'Saves open Word file to client folder

Dim wordapp As Object
Dim DocName As String
Dim FolderName As String
Dim FileName As String

Set wordapp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

FolderName = Selection

DocName = wordapp.ActiveDocument.BuiltinDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTitle).Value & ".docx"
FileName = FolderName & DocName


With wordapp.Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = FileName
.Show
End With

End Sub

Thank you.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
