Chris,

Test the ThisWorkbook.Path property. If it is empty, then the
workbook has never been saved. For example,

If ThisWorkbook.Path < "" Then
ThisWorkbook.Save
Else
'.. GetSaveAsFilename
' SaveAs
End If

Hi,

I'm trying to write some code that will allow me to do
this:

if thisworkbookalreadysaved then
activework.save
else
filesavename = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
(fileFilter:="Microsoft Excel Workbook (*.xls), *.xls")

If filesavename < False Then ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs
Filename:=filesavename, FileFormat:=xlNormal
end if

the key issue is whether the workbook has been saved in
the past and there is a directory path to it - if, so then
just save it, if not then bring up the saveas dialog box

thks...Chris
