Hi,

I have a macro (code below) that runs when a button is pressed. It opens up the save as dialog box and restricts the save as type to marco-enabled workbooks.

Sub save()

varWorkbookName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
fileFilter:="Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")

End Sub

My issue is that the save as box is by default in the My Documents folder but I would like this to open in a folder of my choosing. Is there a way I can edit the above code so that the save as box opens in the folder I would like?

Thanks, Reece
