AUTOMATIC FILE SAVING

[pravin]

I generate quiotations from a template and create a code name for each
quotation in cells B7 to F7 as follows.
TEMPLATE CODE XXX
QUOTATION CODE BUZ 7/07/2009 abc 156

Can I save this in a file automatically using a micro in a file having the
code name (BUZ,DEF,..) and the quotation number (156,157,...)

See your other post for a number of questions I have.

Suppose the filename was in cell C5 one could use something like this to
save the file with that name when you clicked the Save toolbar button.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Sheets("Sheet1").[C5]
Cancel = True
End Sub

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,

1.Thanks for the prompt reply and regret the non clarity in my question.
2.I have a template for making quotations.Each customer has a name code like
- BUZ,CDE,COD , in cell C7
3.Each quotation has a serial number eg. 178 in cell F7
4.When I click a "Save" button, with an assigned micro, the quotation
worksheet must be saved under the "QUOTATIONS" folder in the specific
customer's sub-folder,arranged in serial order of the quotation number. eg.
K:QUOTATIONS\BUZ\178, K:QUOTATIONS\BUZ\179,K:QUOTATIONS\BUZ\180

6.How can I create a micro which will do the above for me.
Thanks

take the code I gave you and modify it:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="K:QUOTATIONS\" & Sheets("Sheet1").[C7] &
"\" & Sheets("Sheet1").[F7]

Cancel = True
End Sub

This code assumes you have folders already in place with the desired names?

1.Thanks for your guidance.
2.I made the micro as suggested by you as follows

Sub SAVEFILEQUOTATION()

' Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="K:\QUOTATIONS\" & Sheets("Sheet1").[C7] &
"\" & Sheets("Sheet1").[F7]

End Sub

I get the error 9
subscript out of range

Dear Shane,

1.Thanks for your help
2."K:" was the drive in the server and I was getting the error 9
3.I changed the micro to C: as follows and it started working.

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\QUOTATIONS\" & Sheets("Sheet1").[C7] &

> "\" & Sheets("Sheet1").[F7]

4. Is it possible to save it in the server in "K:" drive
5. I have a customer worksheet in which I enter for each new customer:
"code, name,address" using the FORM option under DATA
6.Can I write a micro which will create a folder for each new customer I add
to the list

I am having another problem in connection with printing my excel files.
Whenever I give the print command then a dialoge box appears asking me the
location for saving the xps file.
I understand that this is the property of xps document.
However, as I have created the automatic file saving through a micro I do
not want this automatic saving feature of xps.
Can I do something about it.
