Hi there,
I hope there is a really simple answer to this but I have not been abl
to find a simple solution to error trapping the ActiveWorkbook.SaveA
method. When the following command runs (inside a macro) and I selec
'yes' from the dialog box when it says "the file already exists do
want to replace it?" - that's fine. When I select 'no' or 'cancel' th
following error occurs... Runtime Error 1004: "Method 'SaveAs' o
object '_workbook' failed

The method is: (where sWorkBookPath and sFileName are variables for m
path and filename)

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=sWorkBookPath & "\" _
& sFileName & ".txt", FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False

How do I stop the macro crashing when I select 'no'

Kindy Regards
And

try putting in either
On Error Resume Next
O
On Error Goto

Or handle the specific erro

On Error GoTo ErrHandler

ErrHandler
If Err.Number = 1004 And
Err.Description = "Method 'SaveAs' of object '_workbook' failed" The
Resume Nex
End If
Make sure you match the description exactly as it shows up in the error

If you always want to save the workbook, this macro won't ask any questions.
It will just save.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=sWorkBookPath & "\" _
& sFileName & ".txt", FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
