Save as Overwrite prompt
Sub Save_Book()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=filepath & "VA05.xls" Application.DisplayAlerts = True End Sub I want to save a file and automatically overwrite the existing file. I have done this a thousand times, and it works fine. But now I am exporting a report from an ERP system into Excel. When I run this code against the resulting excel file, I get an error Method 'Display Alerts' of object 'Application' failed. Is there another way of Saving a file without being prompted to overwrite or not? (I want the default to be Yes overwrite). Thanks! |

Save as Overwrite prompt
Maybe you could just delete the file (or at least try to):
on error resume next kill filepath & "VA05.xls" on error goto 0 activeworkbook.saveas filename:=filepath & "VA05.xls" === But I think I'd try to find out why that .displayalerts is breaking. I don't recall ever seeing it break.
