Dave Peterson gave me a macro to save a workbook and it works great (much
thanks Dave!). But I now realize I need it to suggest a copy name for the active workbook and then return to the active workbook after saving, not the copy. I still want all the functionality that Dave's Macro gives, . . . but I don't want my users saving over the original file by mistake. For example, the active workbook is named: "PFSNov.xls" The macro would suggest or pre-load the name "PFSNov_Copy.xls" save the workbook to a place the user specifies, but return to "PFSNov.xls" after saving. Dave's macro is as follows: Option Explicit Sub testme01() Dim myFileName As Variant Dim OkToSave As Boolean Dim resp As Long Do myFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _ (filefilter:="Excel files, *.xls") If myFileName = False Then Exit Sub End If OkToSave = True If Dir(myFileName) = "" Then 'do nothing special Else resp = MsgBox(prompt:="Overwrite Existing file?", _ Buttons:=vbYesNoCancel) Select Case resp Case Is = vbCancel MsgBox "Try again later" Exit Sub Case Is = vbNo OkToSave = False End Select End If If OkToSave Then Application.DisplayAlerts = False ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=myFileName, _ FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal Application.DisplayAlerts = True Exit Do End If Loop End Sub I've tried playing around and modifying it, but being very new to this, all I get is a variety of different error messages. Any ideas? WillRn |
