Have you created the folder? I think you can only "save as" to an existing
folder.
What error do you get?

This has now been resolved thanks David.

Yes the folder  had been created but with a bit  more searching other
examples I found that I needed ChDir command  with FilePath string
variable.

However I do now have another minor problem  but I will post as new
query anyway but as it might take a few minutes to get through here
goes.

I want to delete unwanted sheets that have nothing in them & I can do
it like this

'For Each myWorksheet In basebook.Worksheets
'If myWorksheet.Name <> sN Then
' myWorksheet.Delete
'End If
'Next myWorksheet
However I get the message "All data will be lost. Do I want to
delete?"

As I have two sheets that I need to delete I want to add  the code  to
automatically delete these 2 sheets.

What is the code?

You have a folder  name in your save  statement of 08DC which doesn't match
what you were saying in the description. I think you have your backslash in
the wrong place. (In fact, you also have a second DC08 and a second use of
mnth. Much more stuff than you have in the description.)

As a matter of principal, do not construct something like a file  name
directly in the parameter of a call to a method. It makes things  much
harder to debug.

Create a variable and put the constructed file name in there, then check it
(e.g. using MsgBox or just view it in the VBE), and then use this file name
variable in the save call instead of the expression.

If you'd done it that way, you would almost certainly have spotted the
problem immediately, yourself.

I did realise that I was making it difficult after searching the net
& looking at other examples.

My current difficulties have been resolved.

Not sure why you'd need a ChDir command. I have Excel code  that saves to
many and varied directories without needing ChDir.

To stop the messages when deleting the sheets you'll need to turn them off
temporarily.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

then delete the sheets, then

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

to get the alerts back on again.
