Hoping I can get some help with this, quite new to VBA and loving what it can do !

I have this bit of code below which will save 2 sheets into 1 PDF:

VBA Code:
Sub CompileReport()
    Dim mySheets As Variant, sh
    Dim filename As Variant
    
        
    mySheets = Array("Print User", "Print Checklist")
    For Each sh In mySheets
        Sheets(sh).PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape
        Sheets(sh).PageSetup.FitToPagesWide = 1
                       
    Next

    Sheets(mySheets).Select
    
       
  ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, filename:="H:\Desktop\Test" & ".pdf", _
       Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False
        
  Sheets("Print User").Visible = False
  Sheets("Print Checklist").Visible = False
    
End Sub

My problem is in reference to the filename:="H:\Desktop\Test" & ".pdf" above. Can someone please teach me how I can, instead of defining the file and location, allow the user to select it themselves via a 'Save As' ? I have found a few guides on how to do this but I just can't seem to get it work.

Many thanks

try this

VBA Code:
Sub CompileReportX()
    Dim mySheets As Variant, sh As Variant, fName As Variant
    fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(FileFilter:="Adobe PDF File_ (*.pdf), *.pdf")
        
    mySheets = Array("Print User", "Print Checklist")
    For Each sh In mySheets
        Sheets(sh).PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape
        Sheets(sh).PageSetup.FitToPagesWide = 1
    Next

    Sheets(mySheets).Select
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, filename:=fName, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False
    Sheets("Print User").Visible = False
    Sheets("Print Checklist").Visible = False
End Sub
