>>I had similar problems trying to save excel file with & and long file names. Tried () instead and worked. Your example looks funny though, if you're enclosing & within quotes. HTH

Sorry. I've confuse you with the string name myfilepath&name. It was only a way to say it's a string that includes the path and the file name. I was not a macro substitution. It would look really funny a macro substitution enclosed within quotes.
Thanks anyway
Carlos.
