Hi, would it be possible to have a warning box pop up to prevent saving the PDF over an existing file? Also, can we have the box show the existing filename and be able to change the name and then save it? Thanks

Code:
Sub DETAIL_PDF()
    Dim response As String
    Dim PrintAreaString As String
    response = InputBox("Enter column letter for 2nd part of range", "Enter Data")
    If response = Cancel Then
    Exit Sub
    End If
      Application.ScreenUpdating = False
      With ActiveSheet
        PrintAreaString = "A3:$" & Trim(UCase(response)) & "$" & .Range("B1").Value
        If response <> "" Then
            .PageSetup.PrintArea = PrintAreaString
            .PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape
            .PageSetup.Zoom = False
            .PageSetup.FitToPagesWide = 1
            .PageSetup.FitToPagesTall = False
            .PageSetup.LeftMargin = 36
            .PageSetup.TopMargin = 72
            .PageSetup.RightMargin = 36
            .PageSetup.BottomMargin = 36
    End If
    End With
    fileSaveName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & "FRIEDLAND QUOTE " & [B6] & " " & "JOB " & [B7] & " " & [A15] & " " & [AB15] & " " & [AD15] & [B9] & " PCS" & " " & Format(Date, "mmddyy")
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
        fileSaveName _
        , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
        :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True '(change this to "False" to prevent the file from opening after saving)
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 
I thought you wanted to show the message box only if the file already exists. Is it not working that way?
