Saveas on Template retains existing name!
 
I have a template called PkLstTemplate1.xlt saved in the template
directory.

A user opens this template by clicking on a sortcut to it.
When the template opens it has a name of PkLstTemplate11 (no .xls
extension)

VB code in Workbook_Open prompts the user for information
and successfully saves the file using the ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs
command.
For example say the code saved the file as XYZ.xls

After the save has completed, the activeworkbook SHOULD be XYZ.xls,
but it is still PkLstTemplate11.

If the user clicks on File-Save as and gives it a new name the active
workbook becomes this new name as normal.

What am I missing? Why does the active sheet not take the name of
the file it just saved?

The code in this template used to work flawlessly every time.
For some reason it stopped working one day!

If I step through the code while the template is open it works
correctly, but if I open the template by doubleclicking on the
filename that will invoke the workbook_open code, it will do the
saveas and revert back to the original filename PkListTemplate1 (no
extension).

Code as follows:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim strContainerNumber As String
Dim strContainerShipDate As String
Dim Slashcheck As Variant
Dim CloseWorkbook As String

On Error GoTo Errorhandler

strContainerShipDate = InputBox("Enter container ship date. Use
the format yyyy-mm-dd.")

Slashcheck = InStr(strContainerShipDate, "/")
If Slashcheck < 0 Then
MsgBox ("Slashes (/) not allowed in date.")
Workbook_Open
End If

strContainerNumber = InputBox("Enter the container number", "Save
As")

If Trim(strContainerNumber) < "" And Trim(strContainerShipDate)
< "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "\\sg-2k\server\" & strContainerShipDate
& "_" & strContainerNumber & ".xls"
MsgBox ("This file is saved as the file name " &
strContainerShipDate & "_" & strContainerNumber & ".xls")
End If

Exit Sub

Errorhandler:
MsgBox ("You cannot use /,~,`,*, and several other characters in
the date. You file is not saved. Please close the sheet and try
again")
Exit Sub

End Sub


Thanks,

Brent
