I have this:



And This:

I want to know how to properly insert a path so it will save to that
whenever I choose to click one or the other. It would be nice if
the actual window box opened up like when you normally save a file so
you can change that path if you wanted, but that isn't needed if it
is beyond very basic code. I do want to dictate the name of the
saved file. The "saved as" file should be: Date, "yy-mm-") &
Worksheets("Blank").Range("A1").Value

But the ActiveWorkbook.save I just want to save the same file to
itself, accepting whatever data changes I have made, but no changes
to the actual file name.

Thanks!

Try using Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs).Show

This will show a SaveAs dialog. Looking further on the net should reveal additional features.
(For instance you can also use Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).Show
 and Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker). Perhaps picker would be best for you, and then you would use the results to save in code, as you have been doing...)
