Ray,
Check out the Workbook_BeforeSave event.
You can force your required filename (informing the user otherwise they will
get confused), save, then cancel the save that excel is waiting to process.

Greetings,


I have a file named TheBasis.xls. I would like allow a user to append to
the name, however, always keep TheBasis as the first part of the name. I
would prefer to disable the simple Save command. Is there a way to do this
in VB? I was thinking that there may be some way to trap the attempt to
Save
or Save As, and then go to VB, however, I don't know how.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ray
