It's multiple files, and the first four characters are identical.
The last characters, are always numeric and will always differ.

As I've thought about this, it seems that I'd have to compare the file name
that is open, to the name of the files in the directory where I'd want to
save to. If the same pre-save file name is identical to a file name that
arleady exists, then it needs to skip that "new" file, and move on to the
next file in the source directory.
I hope that makes sense.
If not, pelase ask.

Hi Steve

Is it one file or more ?
Does the name start or end with the same characters

Hi Ron,
For now I'll use the on error resume next.
It appears to be working ok.
Do you have an idea as to how I can use an if statement to look if there is
a file by a given name in the final directory, and if so, skip, and go to the
next file?
Something akin to:

if FileName is true then
next FileName
end if

Thanks.

If there is a error let the code give you the name of the workbook and go to the next file.
After the macro is ready you can check out the problem files

Show us the code you are running on each file and tell us where you get the error in some workbooks

Hi Ron,

Actually, I do want to "update" all of my xl* files.

The problem goes back to having processed some files, and then if I get hung
up on some error, it requires that I restart all over again.

Errors I can deal with, but starting over each time I get yet another error
is killing my time.

I need to be able to pick up where I left off, and move forward.

What would it take to modify this so that I don't need to start from scratch
each time I hit a bug/error?

Hi Steve

Do not change Fnum

If you only want to run the macro on the xls files then change this line

FilesInPath = Dir(myPath & "DTR*.xl*")

to
FilesInPath = Dir(myPath & "DTR*.xls")

Hi Ron,
After I made the modifications to your copy4 macro, I've found the
following-- code first, then issue.
----------------------------------------------------
Dim myPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles() As String, Fnum As Long
Dim myBook As Workbook


myPath = "S:\Assignments - Final\Truckee River Claims\"

FilesInPath = Dir(myPath & "DTR*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No Files Found"
Exit Sub
End If

Fnum = 0
Do While FilesInPath < ""
Fnum = Fnum + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To Fnum)
MyFiles(Fnum) = FilesInPath
FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop

If Fnum 0 Then
For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
Set myBook = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set myBook = Workbooks.Open(myPath & MyFiles(Fnum))
On Error GoTo 0
Call ASaveNewFormat
Next Fnum
End If

End Sub
---------------------------------------------------
I have two primary issues.
1- This requires me to process all of the files in my directory, and I do
not want to re-process them, once I've done so if I get caught up in an
error.
As such, I tried changing the starting number of Fnum. I think that this is
where my error is stemming from, because it worked fine before I changed the
start # for Fnum.
2- How can I keep it from starting out at 0, and actually start at the file
number of my choosing, in the event I find that there is a file that the
routine will not process?
Thank you.
