I have a sheet where I have added incremental numbering, some buttons
and user instructions. Once the user finishes and clicks a save
button, the sheet is automatically named and saved. I can see times
when a saved sheet will need to be opened and edited. Since the
macros are saved with the newly saved sheet, when it is reopened it
tries to increment the number again and prompts user with instructions
as if it was a new form. How can I get rid of all macros on the saved
sheet?

I've regularly seen the following routine recommended as a method to
accomplish this but it has failed to remove Module1 in my testing (the
routine does run successfully):

Sub save_wo_macro()

ThisWorkbook.SaveAs "newfile.xls"
Dim VBComp As VBComponent
Set VBComp = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("Module1")
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Remove VBComp
ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True

End Sub

Can anyone give me some help and how to get this to work or an
alternate method to get rid of the macros in the saved sheet?

PS: My programming experience goes back to some courses I took in
college 20+ years ago (Basic, Cobal, Fortran & Assembler). I can
handle programming logic but this Methods, Objects, Properties thing
is a struggle for me.
