FileName SaveAs
Hi there guys,
I need to achieve a saveas function with vba from a *.xtl 1) Cell c3 contains a text that will act as the file name. 2) the code needs to use this text as file name and save it to a directory C:\windows\desktop\dummy\. 3) if the file exists then the user needs to be prompted to save or rename in that directory. what I have so far is Workbooks("book1.xtl").SaveAs Filename:="C:\windows\desktop\dummy\" & Range("c2").Value & ".xls" the above works fine until the system finds that the filename exists and instead of asking the user if he wants to save over or change the name it goes into BREAK mode. Can I get around it? Thank you again. Alan |

FileName SaveAs
Hi Alan,
what I have so far is Workbooks("book1.xtl").SaveAs Filename:="C:\windows\desktop\dummy\" & Range("c2").Value & ".xls" the above works fine until the system finds that the filename exists and instead of asking the user if he wants to save over or change the name it goes into BREAK mode. Can I get around it? Very confusing, because my Excel (excel97) works fine with that command and prompts: "a file named abcd.xls already exists, do you want to replace it?" What exactly gives excel back as the "BREAK mode"? BTW: try savecopyas instead of saveas... but afaik this will not prompt the user but overwrite it automatically... Strange, though. Best Markus |
