Is there a way that I can force the filename for a workbook?

I want a user to open a template file. Fill in some details and save the file with its filname being based on a cell on the sheet

I could use

projectfilename = sheets("PEROJECT INFO").CELLS(5,5).value
saveas (projectfilename,xlnormal)

but where should I put it to ensure that it is fired correctly?

If I put it in beforeSave I get an infinite loop. If I set cancel = true It doesnt seem to save at all

any ideas?

Thanks in advance

David
 
remove the save and save as commands from your tool bar, then.

Put your code in the "on workbook close sub".
