Hello.

I have a template that has code attached to it as follows:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

UpdateLinks = xlUpdateLinksAlways


Call openfile
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False


End Sub

Private Sub openfile()

Dim sDailyReport As String
Dim vFileName As Variant

ChDrive "K"
ChDir "K:\Individual Directories\Woodford, Cathy\Daily Report"
filetoopen = Application.GetOpenFileName("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")
If filetoopen < False Then
Workbooks.Open FileName:=filetoopen
Else
MsgBox "User Clicked Cancel, Exiting"
Exit Sub
End If

ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMinimized
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized
Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1).Value = filetoopen

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, _
Cancel As Boolean)

Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In Worksheets
With ws.Cells
.Copy
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End With
Next ws

Application.CutCopyMode = False


End Sub


What this does is when the user double clicks the template icon, the
template opens and then the open dialog opens so the user can select a
file
to take values from to populate the template. I don't want an open
diaglog
box to open when the user saves it as a .xls file, which means I have to
get
rid of the code somehow. Any suggestions?
