I have a pretty simple Macro to open a txt file, clean it up and Save As a .xlsm in its original location. I recorded the macro on one file, I cant figure out how to edit it so it will pull the current file name, not the one I recorded the macro with. Can anyone help? Do I have to insert a module or procedure or can I just edit what I have? The green text is what I need to be changed. I'm new to this and still trying to teach myself. Thank you!

    ChDir "C:\Users\GZall\Desktop\Laura's Project\Zall Stuff\2022"
    Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
        "C:\Users\GZall\Desktop\Laura's Project\Zall Stuff\2022\*PM*.txt", _
        Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array( _
        Array(0, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(41, 1), Array(105, 1), Array( _
        116, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
    Cells.Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$G$7285").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Array( _
        "BID", "SID", "TOT"), Operator:=xlFilterValues
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
    Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Columns("B:B").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Columns("C:C").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Columns("D:F").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Range("D1").Select
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        "C:\Users\GZall\Desktop\Laura's Project\Zall Stuff\2022\PM11.12.22.xlsm", _
        FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
    Application.Left = 334
    Application.Top = 133.6
    ActiveWindow.Close
End Sub

Excel Facts

Get help while writing formula
Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Right after this "Open file" command:
VBA Code:
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
"C:\Users\GZall\Desktop\Laura's Project\Zall Stuff\2022\*PM*.txt", _
Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array( _
Array(0, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(41, 1), Array(105, 1), Array( _
116, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
you can capture the name of the active file and change the extension from "txt" to "xlsm" like this:
VBA Code:
    Dim fName As String
    fName = Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 3) & "xlsm"
    MsgBox fName
(that MsgBox is not needed in your final code, it is just there to show you what we built).

You can then use it in your Save command, i.e.
VBA Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\Users\GZall\Desktop\Laura's Project\Zall Stuff\2022\" & fName, _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
