Hello,

I have a text string "fn_name" which reads:

fn_name = "C:\Folder1\Folder2\testfile.xlsx"

The file extension of this string could also be .xls , .xlsm, .xlsb etc...

I need VBA code to detect If the file extension is ".xlsx" :

- Save As the file as testfile.xlsm in the same directory path
- Change the file string to "C:\Folder1\Folder2\testfile.xlsm"

many thanks
Andy

I think you want this:


Code: 
Sub test()
    
    Dim strExt As String
    Dim fn_name As String
        
    fn_name = "C:\Folder1\Folder2\testfile.xlsx"
    
    strExt = Right(fn_name, Len(fn_name) - InStrRev(fn_name, "."))
    
    If LCase(strExt) = "xlsx" Then
        fn_name = Left(fn_name, Len(fn_name) - 5) & ".xlam"
    End If
    
    MsgBox fn_name
    
End Sub
