SaveAs method
 

I am trying to automate a spreadsheet that uses DDE links to get data & save
it out to a comma delimited file to import into Access & would like this to
be seamless to the user (not having to respond to any messages).

I am using the SaveAs method in the BeforeClose event of the Workbook.
Actual code is:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="e:\shift Report\report\xtest",
FileFormat:=xlCSVWindows

This code works fine & it saves this file, but after this happens & Excel is
being closed I get the standard message "File is not in Microsoft Excel 97
format. Would you like to save?" How can I bypass this message so the user
does not have respond to this message??

SaveAs method
 

Add the following code to the end of your macro that flags that the workbook does not need saving.

ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True

When the user closes the workbook, assuming no further changes have occurred, there should be no prompt for saving.
