Using VBA how can I save a new document to a directory without promting the user for a flie name. The document has not been saved before. I am trying to save a newly created merged document.

See 'Send Mailmerge Output to Individual Files' and 'Split Merged Output to Separate Documents' in: https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...ps-tricks.html. The code for 'Send Mailmerge Output to Individual Files' saves the file to the same folder as the mailmerge main document and the code for 'Split Merged Output to Separate Documents' saves the file to the same folder as the source document, respectively, but you could specify a different folder.

If you are not going to ask the user for the name, where do you propose getting the name from?

In addition to Paul's link, if this is a mailmerge then you can name the individual documents from the merge data, using one of three merge tools available from my web site e.g. http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm or alternatively http://www.gmayor.com/MergeAndSplit.htm makes it pretty simple to merge just one record named from the file, but someone has got to provide a name before you can save.

I will provide the directory and name for the file. I cannot believe that this has not been done before.

Both Graham and I have provided you with links to code showing you the general principles. For anyone even moderately competent in VBA it's hardly rocket science. Have you at least examined the code?

I examined the code and found what I was looking for, tested it, and it worked!!!
