Macro creates additional datafiles when saving copies of workbook
Good morning, all!
I am using a simple loop to create test data workbooks. There is a 5X1 range
"DropDownTeams" which is referred to as "TestDataCell" - the cells contain
ELS1, ELS2...ELS5.
My macro successfully creates the following workbooks:
D:\Pete's Operations\Personal\Test\SOFT Report - 0530 - ELS1.xls
D:\Pete's Operations\Personal\Test\SOFT Report - 0530 - ELS2.xls
D:\Pete's Operations\Personal\Test\SOFT Report - 0530 - ELS3.xls
D:\Pete's Operations\Personal\Test\SOFT Report - 0530 - ELS4.xls
D:\Pete's Operations\Personal\Test\SOFT Report - 0530 - ELS5.xls
the "0530" being the contents of two additional variables generated by the
macro YearWeekResourceName. However, I ALSO get five additional files
created, the same size as the original workbook, with no file extension and a
filename made up of 8 random alphanumeric characters.
Can anyone suggest why these files are being created? Are they temp files,
and, if this is the case, why aren't they being deleted?
Thanks in advance
Pete
