I would just like to thank everyone that responded to my questions ove
the past few days, and putting up with my ignorance!
The program that I was working on is finally finished, except for on
thing-
When i activate the macro below, it will save all the worksheets, an
then display the save-as window as it is suppose to. If i cancel it a
this point and don't name it, it will close the program and save i
with its base name in a value format, which means i loose all th
formulas in the program.
Is there a way to safe guide the base program and this from happening?
Secondly, I would like to learn more about Visual Basics, could anyon
advise me on what would be a good way to learn the basics

From Help (I searched for Dialogs, got the Dialogs collection, then clicked on
the link to the Dialog object)

"Using the Dialog Object
Use Dialogs(index), where index is a built-in constant identifying the dialog
box, to return a single Dialog object. The following example runs the built-in
Open dialog box (File menu). The Show method returns True if Microsoft Excel
successfully opens a file; it returns False if the user cancels the dialog
box.

dlgAnswer = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show
"

Applying that to your situation (and adding the missing dots inside the
With/End With blocks):

Sub Special()
Dim wsheet As Worksheet
Dim Rsp As Boolean

With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.DisplayAlerts = False
Rsp = .Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
End With

If Rsp = True Then
For Each wsheet In Worksheets
wsheet.Unprotect
With wsheet.UsedRange
.Copy
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End With
wsheet.Protect
Next wsheet
ActiveWorkbook.Close True
End If

With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.DisplayAlerts = True
End With

End Sub

You might also want to look at the GetOpenFileName method. It also returns a
value that you can check to determine whether the user cancelled the dialog
box.
