Macros Containing a File Save As & Tab Deletions
I have a macro that saves off a copy of the file, replacing the existing
saved off copy. Even though I record "yes" to replace the existing copy I am always prompted to say/click "yes" again when the macro runs. Also, on another macro, I delete a few tabs from the copy. I am prompted during the recording (like "are you sure you want to delete this tab") and I still get prompted again when the macro runs. Is there a way to program it so the macro saves over an existing or delete tabs without user intervention, to agree with what has already been agreed to, while the macro is actually running? Many thanks in advance! Regards, Mike |

Macros Containing a File Save As & Tab Deletions
If you use something like:
Activeworkbook.save or thisworkbook.save You shouldn't be prompted to overwrite the existing file. If you're using .saveas, you can avoid the prompt: application.displayalerts = false activeworkbook.saveas ..... application.displayalerts = true And the same .displayalerts will stop the prompt when you delete a sheet in code.

Wrap the actions inside these two lines. Application.DisplayAlerts = False 'do your code stuff Application.DisplayAlerts = True Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 15 Aug 2006 14:01:01 -0700, Mike The Newb wrote: I have a macro that saves off a copy of the file, replacing the existing saved off copy.
