How can I effectively do a "save" or "save as" of a workbood from VB. I
assume there are methods that support this. Thanks.

Hi,

Do you mean, VBA? Visual Basic is NOT the same as Visual Basic for
Applications. VB < VBA. If you are talking the programming language in
which Excel has and is able to utilize, you're talking VBA. VB is a stand
alone program which is a little more versatile than VBA. A google search
will yield many results.

But if you are asking about VBA, then try the following ...

Sub testingSave()
Thisworkbook.Save
End sub

or..

Sub testingSaveAs()
Thisworkbook.SaveAs "C:\MyWorkbook.xls"
End sub

Is this what you're talking about?

All of these are possible solutions... Depends exactly what you want...

ThisWorkbook.Save
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\Test.xls"
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "C:\test.xls"
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show "C:\Test.xls"
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveCopyAs).Show "C:\Test.xls"

Assuming you mean VBA, Save and SaveAs are detailed in help.

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveCopyAs).Show "C:\Test.xls"

gives me a run-time error.

Run-time error '1004':
Application-defined or object-defined error.

Does you know why? Thanks.
