thank you so much, it works as expected. It appears there are many roads to Rome and quite few that don't

I used SaveAs simply because it worked in way I understood, and not because I knew it would work.

I see you have given the .Name a full folder path AND the filename, this solves the problem I was facing. This does makes sense, but then so did my way and I am non the wiser for why, which shows only that I have no idea what I am looking at.

Thank you very much for your patience and your sharing of knowledge. The beer is in the post.
