how to disable saving???
Hi,
In my code I want to temporarily disable the user to be able to sav the spreadsheet. The reason for this is that in my macro, I have created a manual filte which uses the actual file of data so saves cannot be made over that a I will be in deep ****! I do not want to disable it totally as I have a msgbox asking to sav and if yes, it save automatically with programmed name in a programme folder. PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you Wil -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

Will this "master" file always have the same name. Then you can check this
in the BeforeSave event in the thisworkbook module (see Chip Pearson's site if you are not familiar with events: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/events.htm ) Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) if Thisworkbook.Name = "MyMasterBook.xls" then msgbox "Can not save with this name - do saveas with a new name" Cancel = True End if End Sub -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "willroy" wrote in message ...

Hi Tom
Thats very handy to know, thanks. However, I am running a macro which opens the desired user's workbook, autofilters data by specific dates, renames the worksheet, so I need to disable anyone from saving the adjusted file after the macro has performed. I know I could prigram the workbook to close afterwards, but want to be able to leave it open for the user to view. I hope you can help.

Sounds like a job for a Workbook_BeforeSave event procedure in the ThisWorkbook module Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If Something Then MsgBox "You can't save this now" Cancel = True Exit Sub End If ' do other things as required before saving End Sub Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - reply in newsgroup |

You can still put that code in the workbook you describe (the one you don't
want saved). If your code needs to save it with its original name, you can just do Application.enableEvents workbooks("Data.xls").Save Application.enableEvents If you want to close it without saving and don't want the prompt Workbooks("Data.xls").Close Savechanges:=False Not sure why you think that BeforeSave is not a workable approach, even given the scenario you describe. But for diversity, you can also change the file's access mode to readonly workbooks("data.xls").ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadOnly -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "willroy" wrote in message ...
