Hi ALL

I have the below code which works great, but i was wondering if there was a way for the code to create a year folder and then a month folder then save the workbook the correct amount of times in to each moth folder?

any help would be welcome

Thanks

Craig


VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
 Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim sFilename As Variant
    Dim sName As String
    Dim sExtension As String
    Dim dDate As Date
    Dim nLeapYear As Integer
    Dim n As Integer 'date counter
    Dim worksheets As String
'  line below re hides the vba download before saving the file
  
  ThisWorkbook.worksheets("VBA DOWNLOAD").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
   
    sFilename = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:=".xlsm (*.xlsx; *.xlsm), *.xlsx; *.xlsm")
   
   If sFilename <> "" Then
     sName = Left(sFilename, InStr(sFilename, ".") - 1)
        sExtension = Right(sFilename, Len(sFilename) - Len(sName))
       
        dDate = Range("START_DATE").Value
    
        If MsgBox("Is this a leapyear?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
            nLeapYear = 1
        Else
            nLeapYear = 0
        End If
       
       'line below refers to cell in vba download sheet change cell value to quantity of saves total including fisrt date
       
        For n = 1 To Range("DATE_COUNT").Value
        
            sFilename = Format(dDate, "dd-mm-YY")
            Application.StatusBar = " Exporting File Dated: " & dDate
            
            ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=sFilename
            dDate = dDate + 1
            Application.ScreenUpdating = True
        Next n
    End If
    Application.StatusBar = "SAVE HAS COMPLETED"
    
    End Sub

Hi Craig,

I just realized that I used

Rich (BB code):
Const cstrPath      As String = "C:\Result\"    'change to suit

which (at least for me) is the default way to do so) in Windows while you use

Rich (BB code):
Const cstrPath      As String = "\\ACRLFILE01\company\Beta Shift Managers\Shift Handover Report\"    'change to suit

Does the code create the folders? If not I would assume that the given Path would need to get mounted to a Drive-Character in order to work (if you have write and save rights on that drive which I assume).

Hi Holger

the files create perfectly i can change the address to the mapped dive the only reason i go the the server address is sometimes the computers in the company aren't always mapped to the same letter due to poor practices by the it company we use

i have changed to the mapped address but get the same 1004 error application-defined or object-defined error

thanks again for your help

Craig

Hi Craig,

sorry but by now I can't find the reason for this (might be too obvious but I can't spot it now). If I have any idea be assured I will come back here.
