Code:

.SaveAs2 FileName:=strPath & strNum & strName & ".docx"

what does this line do. is it checking for data in the text box tbpanelnumber ??

Code:

If LCase(oCC.Title) = "tbpanelnumber" Then

SaveAs2 is not supported by Word 2007. It was introduced with Office 2010, but as you included it in your original message, I assumed that the 2007 reference was perhaps wrong, and followed suit. As Paul suggests SaveAs without the '2' will work in 2007.

The second quoted line checks for a content control name (converted to lower case) called tbpanelnumber.

The macro reads the values of the two named content controls, checks whether you have entered text in them and if you have saves the file with those names. It will not work correctly if either the content control names you quoted are wrong, or if they are not content controls but some other kind of 'text box'.

Hi,

Sorted out problem with not saving filename, this was down to me using text boxes and not content control text. I have learned some new stuff here, so thanks for your assistance.

final code below.

Code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
 
Dim strName As String
Dim strNum As String
Dim oCC As ContentControl
Const strPath As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\msaunders\My Documents\Unitam Installs" 'Which must exist!
        With ActiveDocument
        For Each oCC In .ContentControls
            If LCase(oCC.Title) = "panel number" Then
                If Trim(oCC.Range.Text) = oCC.PlaceholderText Then
                    oCC.Range.Select
                    MsgBox "Enter Panel Number"
                    Exit Sub
                Else
                    strNum = Trim(oCC.Range.Text)
                End If
            End If
            If LCase(oCC.Title) = "panel name" Then
                If Trim(oCC.Range.Text) = oCC.PlaceholderText Then
                    oCC.Range.Select
                    MsgBox "Enter Panel Name"
                    Exit Sub
                Else
                    strName = Trim(oCC.Range.Text)
                End If
            End If
        Next oCC
        .SaveAs FileName:=strPath & strNum & strName & ".docx"
        
    End With
End Sub
