I have the following macro run in a template file and works well without the
error handling: Sub Save() ' Macro recorded 02/10/2007 by me Dim MyJobNo As String Dim myFileName As String Dim myDir As String Dim myBUDir As String Dim myBUName As String On Error GoTo ErrorHandler MyJobNo = Sheets("Summary").Range("A8").Formula = "left($a$7,4)" myFileName = "CAPEXSummary-" myDir = "N:\MINING\PLANT\SERVICES\AXAPTA\Job Analysis\Seraji\CAPEX\" 'enter correct path name ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ myDir & myFileName & MyJobNo myBUDir = "N:\MINING\PLANT\SERVICES\AXAPTA\Job Analysis\Seraji\CAPEX\Backup\" myBUName = "Backup-CAPEXSummary-" ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:= _ myBUDir & myBUName & MyJobNo End Sub When the file already exists the message "File already exists...etc" is fine. If users have mistakenly left the previously saved file open and restart the Template file the file saves as normal but MyJobNo changes to "FALSE" and the user is unaware a new file wasn't saved. Can I put an error trap in that warns the user that the file is open and asks if they would like to close it before saving? I've tried the following addition but I don't know how to identify the open file in order to close it automatically (or even if it's a good idea): ErrorHandler: ' Error-handling routine. Select Case Err.Number ' Evaluate error number. Case 55 ' "File already open" error. MsgBox msg = "The file you are trying to save is already open" & vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine & _ "Select OK to have the file close and resave" Close THE OPEN FILE 'Close open file. Case Else ' Handle other situations here... End Select Resume ' Resume execution at same line ' that caused the error. My applogies if this is long winded and difficult to read. -- Jim |
