Answer 1

To piggyback on Lunatik's suggestion, you might add this:

MyPath = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(FILEFILTER:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", Title:="Something really clever about saving")

If MyPath <> False Then
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs (MyPath)
End If

GetSaveAsFilename returns FALSE if the user hits cancel. You can also supply a default filename.

This is a taste thing, but Format(Date, "dd.mm.yyyy") could replace your method.

Another appoach: SHBrowseForFolder

Private Const BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS = 1
Private Const BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN = 2
Private Const MAX_PATH = 260

Private Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib _
"shell32" (lpbi As BrowseInfo) As Long

Private Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib _
"shell32" (ByVal pidList As Long, ByVal lpBuffer _
As String) As Long


Private Type BrowseInfo
   hWndOwner As Long
   pIDLRoot As Long
   pszDisplayName As Long
   lpszTitle As Long
   ulFlags As Long
   lpfnCallback As Long
   lParam As Long
   iImage As Long
End Type


Private Function Show_Save_WorkSheet() As String
Dim lpIDList As Long
Dim sBuffer As String
Dim szTitle As String
Dim tBrowseInfo As BrowseInfo

szTitle = "Please, specify the location where you want the Worksheet to be stored"

With tBrowseInfo
   .hWndOwner = Me.hWnd
   .lpszTitle = lstrcat(szTitle, "")
   .ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS + BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN
End With

lpIDList = SHBrowseForFolder(tBrowseInfo)

If (lpIDList) Then
   sBuffer = Space(MAX_PATH)
   SHGetPathFromIDList lpIDList, sBuffer
   sBuffer = Left(sBuffer, InStr(sBuffer, vbNullChar) - 1)       
   Show_Save_WorkSheet = sBuffer
End If
End Function

The first one is simple. Use Application.GetSaveAsFilename to allow the user to nominate a path and filename.

I've used the following from Chip Pearson to strip the VBA out of a copied workbook before, it should do what you are after:

Sub DeleteAllVBACode()
        Dim VBProj As VBIDE.VBProject
        Dim VBComp As VBIDE.VBComponent
        Dim CodeMod As VBIDE.CodeModule
        
        Set VBProj = myWorkbook.VBProject
        
        For Each VBComp In VBProj.VBComponents
            If VBComp.Type = vbext_ct_Document Then
                Set CodeMod = VBComp.CodeModule
                With CodeMod
                    .DeleteLines 1, .CountOfLines
                End With
            Else
                VBProj.VBComponents.Remove VBComp
            End If
        Next VBComp
    End Sub

Sorry, not got time to review your code in detail (leaving work!)
