Keith,

There are two ways to do this. The first way is to Kill the file
and then do a Save As. E.g.,

On Error Resume Next
Kill "H:\Book2.xls"
On Error GoTo 0
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\book2.xls"

Or, you can turn off alerts, do the save, then turn alerts back
on.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="H:\Book2.xls"
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

How can I execute saveAs without getting a dialog box asking if
it is ok to overwrite the file? I am trying to save in a
specific format and if I undertand correctly, the "FileFormat"
parameter is not available for a straight save.

Thanks,

Keith
