This VBA Code below worked for several years and all of a sudden it stops at the line I highlighted in BOLD (ending with FileFormat:=51. This Purchase Order Form with VBA Code saves my PO's in .pdf & .xlsm and adds a line to my log tab, then clears the form. It works on my computer at home which has Microsoft Office 2010 but does not work at work where my computer is Office 365 with Windows 10. I am very happy to share this with anyone that can figure out why it now longer works.

Sub POReport()

Dim myFile As String, lastRow As Long

'Saves the PO-Template in .pdf format with cells (G6), (F11) and (C6) & extention .pdf

myFile = "Desktop\OCS-POs" & "OCS-POs-" & Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("G6") & "-" & Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("F11") & "-" & Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("C6") & ".pdf"

lastRow = Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row + 1

'Transfer data to Log
'Copy the information from the cells PO number (G6), Project Name (F11) and Contractor (C6) to the log

Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 1) = Now
Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 2) = Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("F6")
Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 3) = Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("G6")
Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 4) = Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("C14")
Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 5) = Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("F11")
Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 6) = Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("F10")
Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 7) = Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("C6")
Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 8) = Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("C7")
Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 9) = Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("G32")

Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Sheets("OCS-PO-Log").Cells(lastRow, 10), Address:=myFile, TextToDisplay:=myFile

'Create PO-Template in .pdf format
'When the .pdf copy is saved, it needs to select and to save only the PO-Log that are equal to the number of issues

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.SaveAs "Desktop\OCS-POs" & "OCS-POs-" & Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("G6") & "-" & Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("F11") & "-" & Sheets("OCS-PO-Template").Range("C6") & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=51

ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=myFile
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

'The cells are cleared
Range("B16:F30") = ""
Range("F10:F12") = ""
Range("C7") = ""
Range("C31") = ""
Range("B32") = ""

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"Desktop\OCS-PO-Template.xlsm", _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

'This allows the PO-Template to change PO number when clicked

Range("G6").Value = Range("G6").Value + 1

ActiveWorkbook.Save

End Sub
