Hi,

A gentleman helped me yesterday and showed me how to do a save as with this
code:
'===================================
Sub SaveWithDate()
'
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim varVal As Variant
Dim strFileName As String

Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("$ Reference")
varVal = ws.Range("C2").Value

If IsDate(varVal) Then
strFileName = "Glue Sched_" & Format(CStr(varVal), "mm-dd-yyyy") &
".xls"
Else
strFileName = "Glue Sched_" & Format(CStr(Date), "mm-dd-yyyy") &
".xls"
End If
ChDir "\\Lan1\Supervisor\Departments\Foam\SCHEDULING \Old Schedules"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strFileName


Set wb = Nothing
Set ws = Nothing

End Sub
'======================

I now need to be able to save this file as a wk4 because this person needs
it that way. I thought I could just change the extension to wk4 above. I
did that and it saved it that way, but he was unable to open the file. I
have found that I need to choose the file type of wk4 rather than give it
that extension. Can someone help with code to change the file type to wk4 as
you would do in the drop down of the save as??

How about recording a macro as you save a file in Lotus format, to get the
syntax?

Hi, I did try that, but did not know how to incorporate it in the given code.
I think I was missing some syntax??

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strFileName, FileFormat:=xlWK4

You can specify the fileformat on this line:

Doh...

You can specify a file format on this line:

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strFileName

Either look at VBA's help or record a macro when you save a test workbook as
..wk4.
