Change File Name Warning
 

Is there a way I can have a message box alert someone,
when the file is opened, if they have changed the name of
the file? Basically, I don't want folks changing the name
of the file and want to warn them to change it back.

Change File Name Warning
 

Sdc,

code should be placed in ThisWorkbook
InstrRev only works with Excel2000 or newer.
warnings and/or exits should be amended to suit your needs.


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

Dim sName$, sPath$
If SaveAsUI Then
Cancel = True
sPath = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
FileFilter:="Excel Workbooks (*.xls), *.xls")
If sPath = "False" Then
Exit Sub 'User cancelled
ElseIf sPath = ThisWorkbook.FullName Then
ThisWorkbook.Save
Else
sName = Mid(sPath, InStrRev(sPath, "\") + 1)
sPath = Left(sPath, InStrRev(sPath, "\"))
If sName < ThisWorkbook.Name Then
If vbOK = MsgBox( _
"Warning: will be saved to indicated path, " & _
"but file cannot be renamed", vbOKCancel) Then
If sPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" Then
ThisWorkbook.Save
Else
On Error Resume Next 'need for cancel overwrite
Application.EnableEvents = False 'avoid triggering self
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs sPath & ThisWorkbook.Name
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
