hi, all
i need help to amend my code actually the code works very well but i need some adjusting i would create subfolders based on h2 then save as pdf file name based on i2 so the file pdf will save to subfolder based on h2 then when i run macro every time if the subfolder name is existed then just copy to file name to existed subfolder if not existed then create a new subfolder based on h2 and save the file to it and if i run macro a gain to save file name to subfolder and the same file is existed then gives me message if i replace the file or not 
Sub SavePDF()
    ChDir "C:\Users\OSE\Downloads\client\" & ActiveSheet.Range("H2").Value & "\"
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=ActiveSheet.Range("i2") _
        , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
        :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
End Sub

Hi Abdel,

Here you go: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim mPath, mPathFile As String
Dim oW As Long

mPath = "C:\Users\OSE\Downloads\client\" & ActiveSheet.Range("H2").Value & "\"
mPathFile = mPath & ActiveSheet.Range("I2").Value

If Dir(mPath, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then
    MkDir mPath
    GoTo sFile
End If

If CBool(Len(Dir$(mPathFile & ".pdf")) > 0) = True Then
    oW = MsgBox("Overwrite existing file?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "File Exists")
    If oW = vbYes Then
        GoTo sFile
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
Else
    GoTo sFile
End If
Exit Sub

sFile:
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=mPathFile _
, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
End Sub


NOTE: I did assume you don't have the ".pdf" extention added to your filename in cell I2. If you do, then remove the "& ".pdf" part on code line 13.

Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Abdel,

Good to hear!

To prevent the missing data error, paste the piece of code between code line 3 and 5: 
If Range("H2").Value = vbNullString And Range("I2").Value = vbNullString Then
    MsgBox "You have to enter subfolder and file names.", vbInformation, "Missing names"
    Range("H2:I2").Select
    Exit Sub
ElseIf Range("H2").Value = vbNullString Then
    MsgBox "You have to enter subfolder name.", vbInformation, "Missing name"
    Range("H2").Select
    Exit Sub
ElseIf Range("I2").Value = vbNullString Then
    MsgBox "You have to enter file name.", vbInformation, "Missing name"
    Range("I2").Select
    Exit Sub
End If


Best regards,
Trowa
