This may be a dumb answer, but why don't you just save the new file
immediately after you open the file. Then the new workbook is no longer a
new workbook it is an old workbook

Another option is to check if the file exists before opening the file. if
the file doesn't exist, then create the newworkbook using a file copy (from
scripting object). When you open the workbook it is not a new workbook.

The trick is assigning variables for each workbook that is opened. I don't

1) You can always refere to the workbook where the macro is located as
Thisworkbook.

set newbk = activeworkbook

I need help€¦. I am trying to create document classification macro for Excel.
Macro is ready and it gets activated on SaveAs. Now what I want to do is €“ I
want to save this macro as excel Add-In so that I can install this in all
users login. I am following instructions from following article. Add-in is
getting configured. But the problem which I am facing is when I do save as in
new workbook - the macro or add-in does not get activated. What I could
understand was that the macro is limited to the workbook in which it was
created. How do I make this macro/add-in global for all active and new
workbooks which I will create?
