Auto-save document to specific location (dir) and with spec. name?
Situation:
- Have a template that needs to be saved to a specific location and with a specific filename after use. How? Name and location: c:\referees\060222 Personalmeeting.doc 06 = year 02 = month 22 = day There are a lot of people saving these documents, but hardly any know how a file structure is organized.. Problem! Thanks, Øystein |

Hi Øystein,
Record any macro, say record clicking the B-button on the Standard toolbar, and be sure to choose the template under 'Store macro in'. Choose Tools | Macro Macro's..., select your macro and choose Edit. The VBA-editor opens. Replace the entire macro by the following: Sub AutoNew() Dim dlg As Dialog Set dlg = Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs) With dlg .Name = "C:\referees\" & Format(Date, "yyMMdd") & " pesonalmeeting.doc" .Show End With End Sub Click the Save button in the VBA editor to save the template. As soon as a user makes a new document based on the template, the SaveAs-dialog appears, suggesting the standard name. Note that if "C:\referees" does not exist, the macro suggests to save the file in My Documents. Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.
