_Workbook::SaveAs(...)
 

Hello NG,

I'm certain somebody already encountered this problem (I am using OLE
Automation with VC++):

If I want to save a workbook or worksheet with "SaveAs", and the target file
already exists, I get a MessageBox "This file already exists. Do you
want...". Of course, in an automated program, I don't want to answer message
boxes, instead I always want to override the existing file.
- I cannot find if one of the many parameters to supply with SaveAs controls
this behavior (I experimented with no success).
- Maybe it is an option which needs to be set correctly?

Thanks for any comments
Fritz

_Workbook::SaveAs(...)
 

I don't do VC++ but in VBA Application.DisplayAlerts = False before the
SaveAs suppresses the warning.

You can either delete existing file first, or you can set the
Application.DisplayAlerts property to False.
