Hi

I have a workbook template ('master workbook') where I want to create new workbook from using one of Master workbook's worksheets.

i.e. right clicking the tab called 'summary'(in Master workbook)> move or copy worksheet> create new workbook:

I want to save the newly created workbook in the same place as the original workbook(('Master Workbook') from which it originated using a macro.

Is there a variation of this code which I can use so that it points to wherever the Master workbook is saved, and save the newly created workbook in the same location?


Code:
Dim Masterwb As Workbook
Dim folderpath As String


folderpath = Application.[B]ActiveWorkbook[/B].Path

Thanks

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Try
Code:
Workbooks("Master Workbook").Path

Thanks.

Just to clarify, where do I use that line of code?

Wouldn't I need to declare what ("Master Workbook") is (as an object?) elsewhere?

Is the macro located in the Master Workbook?

In that case you can simply use
Code:
ThisWorkbook.path
