I have a file where some VBA is ran which creates an output into a new file and does some formatting etc and then the VBA return to the original file where the VBa was first ran from. The issue is the user will sometimes change the file name which creates an error in my code.

Please see my code below with the highlighted file name which will change.

The problem is with the reference to (ORIGINAL FILE) as the user will rename the file.

Code:
Sub CreateOrder()
'
' CreateOrder Macro
'
 
'
Response = Application.InputBox("Enter Password to execute", "Password Required")
 
If Not Response = "lee" Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Order Create").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheets("Order Create").Select
Columns("A:AT").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Sheets("ORIGINAL SHEET").Select
    Range("BC23").Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ActiveSheet.Range("$BB$23:$BC$4290").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:= _
        "ORDERED"
    Range("A22:AY4290").Select
    Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Order Create").Visible = True
    Sheets("Order Create").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Range("C:C,E:E,F:F,G:G,I:I,K:K").Select
    Range("K1").Activate
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Rows("2:2").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
    Cells.Select
    Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
    Range("A1").Select
   
    Call PATOrder_Click
   
    Windows("ORIGINAL FILE.xlsm").Activate
    Sheets("ORIGINAL SHEET").Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Range("A21").Select
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    MsgBox "PAT Order Created Successfully"
   
     
End Sub
 
 
 
Sub PATOrder_Click()
Dim Rng As Range, Dn As Range, RngAc As Range
Dim Lst As Long, Ac As Long, Ray() As Variant, c As Long
Set Rng = Range(Range("A2"), Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
c = 1
For Each Dn In Rng
 Lst = Cells(Dn.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
  If Lst > 4 Then
      For Ac = 5 To Lst
         If Dn.Offset(, Ac).Value <> "" Then
            c = c + 1
            ReDim Preserve Ray(1 To 4, 1 To c)
            Ray(1, c) = Dn.Value
            Ray(2, c) = Dn.Offset(, 2)
            Ray(3, c) = Dn.Offset(, Ac).Value * Dn.Offset(, 2).Value
            Ray(4, c) = Cells(1, Ac + 1)
         
End If
      Next Ac
    End If

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Hi
Add these 2 lines to the top of your code
Code:
[COLOR=#0000ff]Dim Wbk As Workbook
Set Wbk = ThisWorkbook[/COLOR]
Response = Application.InputBox("Enter Password to execute", "Password Required")
And then everywhere you have
Code:
    Windows("ORIGINAL FILE.xlsm").Activate
Replace it with
Code:
    Wbk.Activate

Also, if you're interested, this part of your code
Code:
    Columns("A:E").Select
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlNone
    Columns("B:B").Select
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Columns("E:E").Select
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
could be simplified to
Code:
    With Columns("A:E")
        .Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
        .Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
        .Borders.LineStyle = xlNone
    End With
    Columns("B").Resize(, 2).Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Columns("E").Resize(, 5).Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Like wise this
Code:
    Rows("1:1").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Becomes
Code:
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Rows(1).Resize(11).Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
