Specify path during an autosave event

[Jack_Feeman]

I have the following code in a Word 2003 template to incrementally name a new
document created from the template and then save it with that name.

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=Format(Order, "00#") & "-" & Format(Now, "YY")

Works great except it saves the document to My Documents directory
automatically. I want to specify the path that the code will automatically
save it to.

Please help....Thanks Jack

Since all you've given it is the filename, Word uses its default save path,
which is My Documents. To put it anywhere else, attach the filename to the
end of the path you want:

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="C:\Somewhere Else\" & _
Format(Order, "00#") & "-" & Format(Now, "YY")

Try something like:

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="C:\Some Folder\SubFolder\" &
Format(Order, "00#") & "-" & Format(Now, "YY")
