The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Macro that will save the Active Document with a Pre-Specified Name

Asked by FaheemAhmadGul in Visual Basic Programming, Programming Languages

Tags:

I would like to have a macro which will save the contents of the currently active document in a pre-specified folder with a particular name. The name of the newly saved file should be made up of the Word Summary plus the Current Date. So that if I run this Macro on 13 September, this macro will save the current file as (C:\Test\Summary 13 September 2008. I have got code that will do exactly this and I provide a copy of that code at the end of this question. I now wish something else to be added to this code so that before the Macro saves the current file with a name made up of the word Summary and Current Date, I would like it to check if a file with that name already exists and if that is the case to then save this file instead with a slightly different name such as C:\Test\Summary 13 September 2008 B). Before the macro saves the file with this second name option, I would again like it to first check if a file with that second name option also already exists in the specified folder and, if it does, then the name of the file to be saved should be C:\Test\Summary 13 September 2008 C).

So if run for the first time today this macro will save the current file with the name C:\Test\Summary 13 September 2008); if run a second time today this macro will save the current file with the name C:\Test\Summary 13 September 2008 B); and if run a third time today it will save the current file with the name C:\Test\Summary 13 September 2008 C)
 
The code I have got at present which is saving the current file for me without checking if the file with the Specified name already exists is as follows:

Sub Test()
    MyDir = "C:\TEST\"
    Application.ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertySubject) = "Summary " & Format(Now, "dd MMMM yyyy")
    Application.ActiveDocument.SaveAs MyDir & "Summary " & Format(Now, "dd MMMM yyyy")
End Sub
