Please help...the code below saves the file as "book1.xls" to my default Excel directory (P:\my documents\) and not as test.xls to "C:\WINNT\Profiles\wojeda\Desktop\". For some reasons none of the properties of the workbook are changed?


Private Sub cmdSpecialAssets_Click()

Dim objXL As Object
Dim objActiveWkb As Object
Dim objActiveSht As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strPath As String ' Path to Excel document
Dim booXLOpen As Boolean ' Was Excel Open T/F



strFileName = "test.xls"
strPath = "C:\WINNT\Profiles\wojeda\Desktop\" + strFileName


' Defer error trapping.
On Error Resume Next



' Get Excel if open and assign to objXL.
' Check if no errors to verify if Excel was open.
' If Excel was open then save the users current workbook.
Set objXL = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err.Number = 0 Then
objXL.ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=True ' Save and close current workbook.
booXLOpen = True
End If



' Reset all properties of the Error Object.
Err.Clear



' If Excel was not open then open Excel.
If objXL Is Nothing Then
Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
End If



' Open Excel using the password assigned to strPassword.
objXL.WindowState = xlMaximized ' Make the Excel Window Maximized
objXL.ActiveWindow.Visible = True ' Make the active Excel window visible
objXL.Visible = True ' Make the Excel application window visible
objXL.workbooks.Add
objXL.Workbook.Name = "dddd"
Set objActiveWkb = objXL.Application.ActiveWorkbook
objActiveWkb.FullName = strFileName
objActiveWkb.Path = strPath


objXL.ActiveWorkbook.Save
objXL.Application.Quit ' Quit Excel.
Set objXL = Nothing ' Destroy Excel Application Object.
Set objActiveWkb = Nothing ' Destroy Active Workbook Object.



End Sub
 
Sorry use this code instead...


Private Sub cmdSpecialAssets_Click()

Dim objXL As Object
Dim objActiveWkb As Object
Dim objActiveSht As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strPath As String ' Path to Excel document
Dim booXLOpen As Boolean ' Was Excel Open T/F



strFileName = "test.xls"
strPath = "C:\WINNT\Profiles\wojeda\Desktop\" + strFileName


' Defer error trapping.
On Error Resume Next



' Get Excel if open and assign to objXL.
' Check if no errors to verify if Excel was open.
' If Excel was open then save the users current workbook.
Set objXL = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err.Number = 0 Then
objXL.ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=True ' Save and close current workbook.
booXLOpen = True
End If



' Reset all properties of the Error Object.
Err.Clear



' If Excel was not open then open Excel.
If objXL Is Nothing Then
Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
End If



' Open Excel using the password assigned to strPassword.
objXL.WindowState = xlMaximized ' Make the Excel Window Maximized
objXL.ActiveWindow.Visible = True ' Make the active Excel window visible
objXL.Visible = True ' Make the Excel application window visible
objXL.workbooks.Add
Set objActiveWkb = objXL.Application.ActiveWorkbook
objActiveWkb.Name = strFileName
objActiveWkb.Path = strPath


objXL.ActiveWorkbook.Save
objXL.Application.Quit ' Quit Excel.
Set objXL = Nothing ' Destroy Excel Application Object.
Set objActiveWkb = Nothing ' Destroy Active Workbook Object.



End Sub
 
Thanks anyway but I got this one done... Since the path and name property did not work for some reason I did a save as.....worked like a charm... FYI

Dim objXL As Object
Dim objActiveWkb As Object
Dim objActiveSht As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strPath As String ' Path to Excel document
Dim booXLOpen As Boolean ' Was Excel Open T/F


strFileName = "REO Special Assets as of "
strFileName = strFileName + IIf(Month(Date) > 9, Trim(Str(Month(Date))), "0" + Trim(Str(Month(Date))))
strFileName = strFileName + IIf(Day(Date) > 9, Trim(Str(Day(Date))), "0" + Trim(Str(Day(Date))))
strFileName = strFileName + Right(Str(Date), 2) + ".xls"

strPath = "F:\SmcKey\Chris L\Special Assets\"
strPath = strPath + IIf(Month(Date) > 9, Trim(Str(Month(Date))), "0" + Trim(Str(Month(Date))))
strPath = strPath + Right(Str(Date), 2) + "\" + strFileName
