I'm trying to open the save as window and populate the file name and file path from a cell
Here's the code I have which does populate the file name and opens the save as window in the file path but when I click save the file never shows up in the location where it was suppose to save.
Sub Save()
'Adds formula to show file path
ActiveSheet.Range("I26") = "=LEFT(CELL(""filename"",RC),FIND(""["",CELL(""filename"",RC),1)-1)"
'Adds formula to show file name
ActiveSheet.Range("J26") = "=MID(CELL(""filename""),FIND(""["",CELL(""filename""))+1,(FIND(""]"",CELL(""filename""))-FIND(""["",CELL(""Filename""))-8))"
ActiveSheet.Calculate 'Calculate sheet
'this will remove the formula from the cell making it text only
ActiveSheet.Range("I26") = ActiveSheet.Range("I26")
ActiveSheet.Range("J26") = ActiveSheet.Range("J26")
Dim FilePath As String
Dim FileName As String
FilePath = ActiveSheet.Range("I26").Value
FileName = ActiveSheet.Range("J26").Value
Dim fPth As Object
Set fPth = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
With fPth
.InitialFileName = FilePath & FileName & ".xlsm"
.Title = "Save your File"
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList
.Show
End With
End Sub
The file dialog doesn't actually save the file - it just prompts the user for a filename or allows the user to change a default filename. You have to get the selected filename back and save it independently something like this:
