Your quotation marks are the "wrong type"; just replace them. Also, I think your missing "\" here. "C:aaaInv"

[Galdorf]

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
End Sub

Sub NextInvoice()
Sheets("InvoiceB").Range("F5").Value = Sheets("InvoiceB").Range("F5").Value + 1
End Sub

Sub SaveInvWithNewName()
Dim NewFN As Variant
ActiveSheet.Copy
NewFN = "C:\invoices\Inv" & Range("F5").Value & ".xlsx"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs NewFN, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
ActiveWorkbook.Close
NextInvoice
End Sub

Get error 400 not sure why my guess is 2003 can't save that type of format , does 2003 have non macro save format?

[mdmackillop]

does 2003 have non macro save format?

No, Just save as xls.

does 2003 have non macro save format?

No, Just save as xls.

so

Sub SaveInvWithNewName()
Dim NewFN As Variant
ActiveSheet.Copy
NewFN = "C:\invoices\Inv" & Range("F5").Value & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs NewFN, FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal
ActiveWorkbook.Close
NextInvoice
End Sub

should work?

[mdmackillop]

Looks OK, I don't believe the FileFormat is necessary.

Does the code need to work for more than one person? If so, you should look at saving the Invoice number in a separate file.

Only going to be used by one person although the file i save should be read only not sure how to do that in excel 2003 i should also make function to print 2 copies of invoice as well not sure how to do that.
