I need my workbook to save the changes and rename the file (to the name
in cell A1) when I close the workbook ... is it possible to automate
this?

I use the workbook for invoice generation, cell A1 is the unique number
and I have a clerk who keeps overwriting the previous file by simply
answering "Yes" to the prompt "Do you want to save the changes" without
renaming the file.

Many thanks for your help

Tony

You should make a master file for your data and always use Save As no
Save. Or you can Save the data to press the key F12 and give a new name
to that file. Hope this will help you.

One possibility is to use an auto start macro such as:

Option Explicit
Private Sub workbook_open()
Dim fname As String

fname = Sheets("sheet1").Range("a1").Value

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs _
Filename:=fname, _
FileFormat:=xlWorkbook, _
Password:="", _
WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

This will save the file with the whatever name is in cell A1 every time
it is opened.
