Save As function randomly replaces my file path, Error 1004

[Cheesecube]

Hi, I have a file located at C:\A\B\C\macro.xlsm

I want to save my data to C:\A\B\D\save.xlsx

So I use the string ThisWorkbook.Path & "\..\D\save.xlsx"
with a \..\ to move one level up

I used a MsgBox to confirm that the string is "C:\A\B\C\..\D\save.xlsx"

Somehow, when I use the SaveAs function, it says it cannot access the file C:\A\B\D\9CD78...
or something like this. Run-time error 1004

Every time I run it the save location is replaced with some random hexadecimal code

What went wrong and how do I make this SaveAs function work?

I tested this out and found that this happens only if the folder path has not been created when I save the file to a particular location.

How do I write the code so that it creates the folder path to the save location if it does not exist yet?

This should help you sort that out
