Saving file
I distribute a file to users on the network, they enter information and then
save it back to the network. The problem is that the network is slow, so sometimes users will save it to their C drive to work on it, and then forget to switch back to the network when they are done. I added code to save back to the network when they complete their processing; however, it states that the file cannot be accessed when they are working directly off the network. I need code that saves as to the network when working off the c drive and just saves when working off the network. This is what I currently have: Application.DisplayAlerts = False dim netwrkpath5 as string dim branch as string branch = Sheets("RegionalOutputFile").Range("aa2").Value netwrkpath5 = "\\ahfctor01\ahfcsharedfiles\Branch and Corporate\BR" + branch netwrkpath5 = netwrkpath5 + "\Region" + branch + "BARModel.xls" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=netwrkpath5 Application.DisplayAlerts = True Thanks for any help you can give! -- Paul |

Saving file
this should work enter it into the thisworkbook module Code ------------------- Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If Left(ThisWorkBook.Path, 1) = "c" Then ' so if it is on there drive MsgBox "hello" ' enter you code here End If 'it will still save as they clicked save End Sub ------------------- this will do as you asked, although it will not overcome your proble if more than one person is entering info into each workbook, and i isnt shared person (A) opens the workbook and saves it to their own hard drive person (B) opens the workbook and save it to their own hard drive person (A) saves his workbook back on to the network person (B) saves his workbook back on to the network (overwritin person (A)'s info) (not sure if that is the case, if it is) How many people are using the workbook? How often is it used? How large is the workbook? Do the users need to see each others information -- irishboy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- irishboyx's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3249 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=52289 |

I think that will work, if the path is C is will use Save and if it is
something else I will use SaveAs. Only one user has access to each workbook. Thanks!
