Thanks.

I think I've narrowed the problem. When I run the code below, the 1st msgbox
returns TRUE and the 2nd msgbox returns FALSE. Something strange happens in
between which sets the Saved property to FALSE.

This problem only occurs using the Save As method. Using the Save method the
Saved property always remains TRUE. Those articles which you suggested didn't
really help either.

Any more suggestions?


Sub Savefile()
SavedName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=SavedName
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Saved
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Saved
End Sub

There's no reason to set the Saved property after a save since Excel sets
it. Try this:

Sub Savefile()
SavedName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=SavedName
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Saved
End Sub

If this returns False for your problem workbook you might see if these
articles are useful:
