487944 2006-09-28 23:17:00 With assistance from Parry i have created a File Generator that creates a new file for each job we have.

At present it sends this file to the last folder that was opened.

I want to be able to alter the MACRO to send the file to a specified folder called Job Cards on the same drive (K).

The relevant part of the existing macro is:

[ 'Ask Where to save file
FilePath = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(NxtJob & ".xls", _
"Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , "Create Job Sheet for " & ClientName) ]

Any advice would be appreciated.

I just tried a little test macro on my PC and it seems that if you include the filepath in the first string variable (where you have 'NxtJob & ".xls"') it will open in the folder you want. So maybe amend the string to something like:

FilePath = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("k:\JobCards\" & NxtJob & ".xls", _
.....
