Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Try this.
Code:
If myFileExists("\\inmum-i-fs4\group$\WNA Skyline\Common\" & Uname  & ".xls") Then

Hi Norie,
Got something like this
Code:
path = "\\inmum-i-fs4\group$\WNA Skyline\Common\"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=path & "\" & Uname


I have tested the below code now, and I found even though workbook exist with the user name it again creating new book..
Code:
Sub newWBcreate()
Dim Uname As String, path As String
Uname = Application.UserName
If myFileExists("\\inmum-i-fs4\group$\WNA Skyline\Common\" & Uname & ".xls") Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:="uname.xls", UpdateLinks:=False
Worksheets(Uname).Select
Else
Set newWB = Workbooks.Add
path = "\\inmum-i-fs4\group$\WNA Skyline\Common\"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=path & "\" & Uname
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveSheet.Name = Uname
newWB.Save
newWB.Close
End If
End Sub


And this is Function who checks for workbook..
Code:
Function myFileExists(ByVal strPath As String) As Boolean
'Function returns true if file exists, false otherwise
    If Dir(strPath) > "" Then
        myFileExists = True
    Else
        myFileExists = False
    End If
End Function
