Save as date and time not working - vba

It is supposed to save as file name: Folder\test location 'what ever is in cell C27' and then data and time. I am getting :'008 11 2015 00 00 00'. How do I clean this up with out using "/" and ":"? Note the first 0 is just the test number I used.
Also this macro is in a template that the Testing software uses that is why it has to use Auto_open but the other problem is that when it saves as a non template file, upon opening it tries to run the macro in the non template file. How can I make it so the macro does not save in or is disabled in the save as files/ non template files?
Sub Auto_Open()
Dim FileName As String
Dim FilePath As String
Dim FileDate As String
MyNote = "Is Cell 'C27' Overview Information" & SavePath & " Location_1,2,3,or 4?"
Answer = MsgBox(MyNote, vbQuestion + vbYesNo)
If Answer = vbYes Then
FilePath = "C:\Users\aholiday\Desktop\FRF_Data_Macro_Insert_Test"
FileName = Sheets("Data").Range("C27").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=FilePath & "\" & FileName
Dim FileCopyName As String
Dim FileCopyPath As String
FilePath = "C:\Users\aholiday\Desktop\Backup"
FileName = Sheets("Data").Range("C27").Text
FileDate = Format(Date, "mm dd yyyy hh mm ss")
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=FilePath & "\" & FileName & FileDate
MsgBox "File was saved!"
MyNote = "Open FRF Data Sheet?(After Forth Test Only)"
Answer = MsgBox(MyNote, vbQuestion + vbYesNo)
If Answer = vbYes Then
Workbooks.Open ("FRF_Data_Sheet_Template.xlsm")
Else
MsgBox "Ready for Next Test, Please Exit."
End If
Else
MsgBox "File was not saved, Please Use Location_1,2,3or,4 Durring SIG ATM Test"
End If
End Sub
Solved:
Sub Auto_Open()
With Range("A30")
.Value = Time
.NumberFormat = "h-mm-ss AM/PM"
End With
Dim FileName As String
Dim FilePath As String
Dim FileDate As String
MyNote = "Is Cell 'B27' Overview Information" & SavePath & " Location1,2,3,or 4?"
Answer = MsgBox(MyNote, vbQuestion + vbYesNo)
If Answer = vbYes Then
FilePath = "C:\Users\aholiday\Desktop\FRF_Data_Macro_Insert_Test"
FileName = Sheets("Data").Range("C27").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=FilePath & "\" & FileName
Dim FileCopyName As String
Dim FileCopyPath As String
Dim FileTime As String
FilePath = "C:\Users\aholiday\Desktop\Backup"
FileName = Sheets("Data").Range("B27").Text
FileTime = Sheets("Data").Range("A30").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=FilePath & "\" & FileName & FileTime & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
MsgBox "File was saved!"
MsgBox "Ready for Next Test, Please Exit."
Else
MsgBox "File was not saved, Please Use Location_1,2,3or,4 Durring SIG ATM Test"
End If
End Sub

You can't have a \ in a filename.
For the date part, use the format function. You can define the date format if you want by using "MM-dd-yyy"
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=FilePath & "\" & FileName & Format(FileDate, "MM-dd-yyyy") & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
Use the FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook to save it as a workbook without macros.

Create copy of .xlsm as .xlsx on save

I am trying to create backup copy of workbook .xlsm and save it as .xlsx
due to the same issue as here: Run time error '1004': Copy method of worksheet class failed - Temp file issue
I cannot use SaveCopyAs along with changing format of file
My workaround was to
create new copy of .xlsm file
open this new copy
save it as .xlsx
Close .xlsx file
Remove file from step 1
this is my code
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler:
'define variables
Dim backupfolder As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim xlsxStrFileName As String
Dim fullPath As String
Dim xlsxFullPath As String
Dim wkb As Workbook
'get timestamp
dt = Format(CStr(Now), "yyyymmdd_hhmmss")
'construct full path to backup file which will be later converted to .xlsx
backupfolder = "c:\work\excel macro\delete\"
strFileName = "Test_iz_" & dt & ".xlsm"
fullPath = "" & backupfolder & strFileName
xlsxStrFileName = "Test_iz_" & dt & ".xlsx"
xlsxFullPath = "" & backupfolder & xlsxStrFileName
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=fullPath
Set wkb = Workbooks.Open(fullPath)
wkb.Activate
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=xlsxFullPath, FileFormat:=51 'saves the file
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
'Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:03"))
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Kill fullPath
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "An error occured " & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
MsgBox "Backup saved: " & xlsxFullPath
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fullPath
End Sub
My problem is that i always end up in ErrorHandler, even though i got expected result
When i comment out line 2
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler:
error Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set
on Debug, it points to row with the code
wkb.Activate
and .xlsm file is not deleted
I guess the problem is that when i create new copy of xlsm file and save it, this entire code would be executed one more time and that issue is there somewhere, but i cannot find it.
Thank you
This worked on my computer:
Sub Workbook_BeforeSave()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler:
'define variables
Dim backupfolder As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim xlsxStrFileName As String
Dim fullPath As String
Dim xlsxFullPath As String
Dim wkb As Workbook
'get timestamp
dt = Format(CStr(Now), "yyyymmdd_hhmmss")
'construct full path to backup file which will be later converted to .xlsx
backupfolder = "c:\work\excel macro\delete\"
strFileName = "Test_iz_" & dt & ".xlsm"
fullPath = "" & backupfolder & strFileName
xlsxStrFileName = "Test_iz_" & dt & ".xlsx"
xlsxFullPath = "" & backupfolder & xlsxStrFileName
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fullPath, FileFormat:=52
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=xlsxFullPath, FileFormat:=51 'saves the file
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Kill fullPath
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "An error occured " & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
MsgBox "Backup saved: " & xlsxFullPath
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fullPath
End Sub

Print Screen PDF file with vba

I want to open a PDF file and print the subaddress that i specified, but when i use Application.SendKeys "(%{1068})" just print screen Userform. My issue is how print screen just subaddress Rating Changes.
enter code here
Private Sub AlteraRating_Click()
Dim strFolde As String, Month As String, Year As String, strFile As String
Month = Format(SalvaData, "mm")
Year = Format(SalvaData, "yyyy")
pdfData = Format(SalvaData, "yyyymmdd")
strFolder = "C:\Report\Report of Investments\" & Year & "\" & Month & "\"
strFile = strFolder & "RAI_INFRAPREV PLANO CV_F03148_" & pdfData & ".pdf"
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink strFile, "Rating Changes"
Application.SendKeys "(%{1068})"
DoEvents
End Sub
Try using the following code in order to open the PDF, FollowHyperlink won't keep it open long enough to print screen.
Dim shell As Object
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run Chr(34) & strFile & Chr(34), 1, False

Excel Personal.xlsb saving document Macro

I have a macro to see if a cell contains this string if so executes a "save as" command with this set name standard. When I try to run the macro the if statements seem to not work. When I go through step by step it hits the if statements but saves the personal.xlsb instead of the file I'm working on. Here the code I know I have something wrong with it
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
Dim answer As Integer
If ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") = "String1" Then
FPath = "C:\String1"
FName = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Text
If Len(FPath & "\" & FName) = 0 Then
answer = MsgBox("Do you want to Save File As: " & FName & "?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Microsoft Excel")
If answer = vbYes Then
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "\" & FName
End If
Else
ThisWorkbook.Save
End If
End If
I am open to suggestion the most I was is to check if the file contains a string if so verify it does not already exist and if so just save instead of save as.
ThisWorkbook refers to the workbook where the code resides. Presumably, the code being in the Personal.xlsb, that is why it's saving the XLSB file and not the activeworkbook.
Try this instead:
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
Dim fullName As String
Dim rng As Range
Dim s as String
s = "String1"
With ActiveWorkbook
Set rng = .Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
If rng.Value = s Then
FPath = "C:\" & s
FName = rng.Text
fullName = FPath & "\" & FName
If Len(fullName) = 0 Then
If MsgBox("Do you want to Save File As: " & FName & "?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Microsoft Excel") = vbYes Then
.SaveAs Filename:=fullName
End If
Else
.Save
End If
End If
End With

Automatically create at shortcut to a file

I have a small piece of code under a command button click which saves the workbook file with a new name in a new location, I am wondering if it is possible to also automatically create a shortcut to that newly saved workbook in a different location?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim SelectedFNumber As String
Dim DateStr As String
Dim myFileName As String
Dim StorePath As String
DateStr = Format(Now, "dd.mm.yy HH.mm")
SelectedFNumber = Range("B4").Text
If SelectedFNumber <> "SELECT F NUMBER" And Range("D11") > "0" Then
StorePath = "G:\Targets\" & SelectedFNumber & "\"
myFileName = StorePath & SelectedFNumber & " " & DateStr & ".xlsm
If Len(Dir(StorePath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir StorePath
End If
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=myFileName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Else
MsgBox "Select an F Number"
End If
End Sub
You basically need to add something like this:
Dim sShortcutLocation As String
sShortcutLocation = "C:\blah\workbook shortcut.lnk"
With CreateObject("WScript.Shell").CreateShortcut(sShortcutLocation)
.TargetPath = myFileName
.Description = "Shortcut to the file"
.Save
End With
changing the location to wherever you want.

Appending Username and Date to Save As in VBA

How can I save the excel file using vba code so that the Username and Date are attached in a macro?
Here is the code that I worked on to try to make it work:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=(Environ$("Username")) & "_" & Date & "_BKMtracker.xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
Try this:-
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=(Environ$("Username")) & "_" & Date & "_BKMtracker.xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
With credit to #MatthewD
Sub SaveDocument()
Dim username As String
Dim nowFormated As String
Dim path As String
Dim filename As String
Dim extention As String
username = Environ("Username") & "_" 'gets the username
nowFormated = CStr(Format(now, "yymmdd")) 'or every format you like
path = "D:\" 'Wherever you want to save the file
filename = "_BKMtracker" 'or what you want
extention = ".xlsm" 'for example (with macros, else you have to change the FileFormat too)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:=path & username & nowFormated & filname & extention, _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
