I have a macro to save the summary sheet of a workbook. Is there a way to incorporate a string value as part of the directory path in the SaveAs command?

I trying variations on

Dim Projtype As String
Dim Projname as string
Sheets("Summary").Select
Projtype = Range("C3")
Projname = Range("C4")
ActiveSheet.saveas Filename:="C:\_Projects\" & Projtype & Projname &".xls",

and other attempts.

The Directory "C:\_Projects\" contains subdirectories matching the projtype value, like 'retail', 'seismic', 'residential', etc.

Either the file is saved with the string 'projtype' as part of the file name, or I error out with a 'Directory path not found'.

Any suggestions?
 
Hi,

You’re missing a
ActiveSheet.saveas Filename:="C:\_Projects\" & Projtype & "\" & Projname &".xls",
