When the displayalerts property is set to True, Excel does not make a
selection - you do. So the statement is correct as written except the last
word should be False. An obvious typo.

The Help for DisplayAlerts in Excel 2003 states:


"The default value is True. Set this property to False if you don't want
to
be disturbed by prompts and alert messages while a macro is running; any
time a message requires a response, Microsoft Excel chooses the default
response.

If you set this property to False, Micorosoft Excel sets this property to
True when the code is finished, unless you are running cross process code.

When using the SaveAs method for workbooks to overwrite an existing file,
the 'Overwrite' alert has a default of 'No', while the 'Yes' response is
selected by Excel when the DisplayAlerts property is set equal to True."


However, when I set DisplayAlerts=False, the opposite effect occurs when I
use SaveAs, which is what I want.

Is the documentation wrong?
