Your posts to the same questioned are getting fractured. Try to keep it all

I am lost as to what you have read and what you are asking.

Let me restate my issue as follows:
I create a button in excel called save. The code behind
the save button is to save the file as MyFile to
U:\corporate. I want the user to save the file to
U:\corporate by press my save button only. They will not
be allowed to use File menu save as button to save the
file to U:\corporate. How can I turn of the Save AS
function from File menu for U:\corporate while in the
meantime the user is allow the save the change they make
on the worksheet but not save it as a new file name to
U:\corporate.
Thank you.

Hi Susie,
In the "thisworkbook" module enable the before save event.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)

'call your button click sub here

SaveAsUI =false
Cancel=true

End Sub

From VBA help:
BeforeSave Event

Occurs before the workbook is saved.
Syntax
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUi As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
SaveAsUi True if the Save As dialog box will be displayed.
Cancel False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this
argument to True, the workbook isn't saved when the procedure is finished.
