Could someone sell me why I am getting a runtime error here?? I have almost this identical code in another project that works, and I cant figure out the issue.
Sub Create_PDF()
' Create and save .pdf
Dim pdfName As String
Dim myrange As String
myrange = Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Address
Dim AccountNumber As String
AccountNumber = Right(A1, 3)
FullName = "P:\Public\Generated Letters\LTXN Export Spreadsheets\" & "AccountEnding" & AccountNumber & ".pdf"
'Sets the name and location for the new file
myrange = Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Address
'sets the string end for the print area
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintArea = "A1:" & myrange
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesTall = False
.FitToPagesWide = 1
End With
'Setting the spreadsheet to print active content with columns fit to single page
If Dir(FullName) <> vbNullString Then
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="P:\Public\Generated_Letters\LTXN_Export_Spreadsheets\" & "AccountEnding" & AccountNumber & " - " & Format(Now, "mm.dd.yyyy hh mm") & ".pdf" _
, Quality:=xlQualityMedium, IncludeDocProperties:=False, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
Else
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="P:\Public\Generated_Letters\LTXN_Export_Spreadsheets\" & "AccountEnding" & AccountNumber & Format(Now, "mm.dd.yyyy hh mm") & ".pdf" _
, Quality:=xlQualityMedium, IncludeDocProperties:=False, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
End If
'###This is where I am getting the runtime error and the file is not saving###
End Sub
Sub openFolder()
'Open the folder that we save the PDF to
Call Shell("explorer.exe" & " " & "P:\Public\Generated Letters\LTXN Export Spreadsheets\", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
The one difference from the other project is that AccountNumber is a number and not text, but I figured in defining it as a string it shouldnt matter???

Try this:
Option Explicit
'use Const for fixed values
Const EXPORTS As String = "P:\Public\Generated Letters\LTXN Export Spreadsheets\"
Sub Create_PDF()
Dim ws As Worksheet, myRange As Range
Dim AccountNumber As String, dt As String, FullName As String, fName As String, sep As String
Set ws = ActiveSheet
AccountNumber = Right(ws.Range("A1").Value, 3) 'not just `A1`
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintArea = "A1:" & ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Address
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesTall = False
.FitToPagesWide = 1
End With
dt = Format(Now, "mm.dd.yyyy hh mm")
fName = EXPORTS & "AccountEnding" & AccountNumber
If Len(Dir(fName & ".pdf")) > 0 Then sep = " - "
fName = fName & sep & dt & ".pdf"
'note there's no `xlQualityMedium` enumeration for `Quality`
ws.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, fileName:=fName, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=False, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
End Sub
Sub openFolder()
'Folder paths with spaces need to be quoted....
Call Shell("explorer.exe" & " """ & EXPORTS & """", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
