How do I determine if it is a new file or an existing file?
How can I tell (via VBA code) if the workbook is a new workbook from a
template or an existing workbook? If it is a new workbook, I want to SaveAs and give it a name. If it is an existing file, I just want to save it. I already understand the SaveAs and Save methods. I just don't know how to check whether it is new or existing. Thanks for any help anyone can provide, Conan Kelly |

Hi Conan
A workbook that is not saved one time have no path so you can test it like this. Sub test() If ActiveWorkbook.Path = "" Then MsgBox "New workbook" Else MsgBox "Old workbook" End If End Sub -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Conan Kelly" <CTBarbarin at msn dot com wrote in message ...
