Hi,

Using below macro code u can create the folder in dynamically and saved the file,

vPath = Ur path folder i.e D:\\Test\

strDate = Year(Date()) &"-"& month(date()) &"-"& Day(Date())

set vPathName = ActiveDocument.Variables("vPath")

GetVarValue = vPathName.GetContent.String

Dim filesys

Dim newfolder

set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If Not filesys.FolderExists(GetVarValue) Then

Set newfolder = filesys.CreateFolder(GetVarValue)

filePath = newfolder&"\Test_"&strDate&".xlsx"

I am new in the QV, and I also have a problem when I try to save the Excel Document and the PC.

Please help!

When you say "below Using macro code" exactly where you think it should be copied, under the "Set objExcelWorkbook = copyObjectsToExcelSheet (ActiveDocument, aryExport)" or ...?

vPath = Ur folder path i.e 😧 \\ Test \

strDate = Year (Date ()) & "-" & month (date ()) & "-" & Day (Date ())

set vPathName ActiveDocument.Variables = ("vPath")

GetVarValue = vPathName.GetContent.String

dim filesys

dim newfolder

set filesys = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If Not filesys.FolderExists (GetVarValue) Then

Set newfolder = filesys.CreateFolder (GetVarValue)

filePath = newfolder & "\ Test _" & strDate & ". xlsx"

else

filePath = GetVarValue & "\ Test _" & strDate & ". xlsx"

end If

objExcelDoc.SaveAs filePath
