GetSaveAsFileName (not GetSaveFileName) is a method not an API. There is
equivalent APIs, but they are much more complex to implement.

Jesterhoz,
Unless anyone can help you control Excel's dialog, you could use the API
route and only give .xls as a possible format.
Check out the GetSaveFileName api.

Thanks for responding, Bob.

I only have one concern, though. I am using the following:

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show

This opens the SaveAs Dialog box and allows the user to navigate to a
folder
of choice and save the file with whatever name they choose. How can I
incorporate the FileFormat property into this call?

Thanks,

Trevor

Trevor,

SaveAs has a FileFormat property. However, the help says ... For an
existing
file, the default format is the last file format specified; for a new
file,
the default is the format of the version of Excel being used. ... so
it
should default to Excel file. If you want to force it, set it to
xlWorkbookNormal.

Hello All,

I have a macro that imports a text file, does some manipulations
and,
in
the
end, displays the SaveAs dialog box. The default "Save as type" is
"Text(Tab
Delimited)". However, the user is always going to want this changed
to
"Microsoft Excel Workbook".

Does anyone know how to change the "Save as type" to be "Microsoft
Excel
Workbook" using VBA?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Trevor
