How to "unnamed" workbook.
 

I have an opened workbook which was saved by a user.
Now I need to treat this workbook as a new, so after clicking File/Save
(not Save as) Excel will open dialog window to provide filename.

Is there any way to do this from VBA?

Look in Excel help at the beforeSave event.

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/events.htm

you would cancel the save by setting

Cancel = True
then disable events
Application.EnableEvents = False
then put up the saveas dialog

fname = Application.GetSaveAsFileName

then save the file if the name is acceptable

thisworkbook.SaveAs fname

reenable events
Application.EnableEvents = True

It is more complicated.

Code is somewhere else that workbook which is open, so I can't use any
events which apply to that workbook.


the idea is like below


wbk = workbooks.Add
wbk.saveas "temp"


now wbk remians open with "temp" as a name, but I need it as "noname".
There is no VBA code in "temp" file.

was your original problem statement. You have now contradicted that.

If you determine what your actual situation is, then certainly, post back.

If a workbook has been saved, then it will have a name. Possibly you are
looking for a template.

opened workbook, doesn't mean that I can write any code to it.

1.
Workbook is created from VBA code from scratch, but VBA code is in add-in.
For some reasons this newly created workbook must be saved.
After that if user saves it, it is saved under the temporary name chosen
by me.
I don't want to and I can't force Save As option.
I would like to have it as a noname even if I saved it before.

2. if user saved using his own name, he needs option to leave it open as
a noname, so next time choosing File/Save Excel will ask for a name.

What I need is option like ActiveWorkbook.FullName = ""

Is it clear now?

SaveCopyAs creates a copy and doesn't save current workbook.
Problem is that current workbook must be saved, not simply its copy
created. Why? Because of bug in Excel.

SaveCopyAs does not require that the workbook be saved.

But it is not that case.
Once again.
There is a workbook which has a name assigned to it. So File/Save will
not ask for name.
I need to remove filename, so next time when user will try to save it by
choosing File/Save Excel should display SaveAs dialog box.

Making copies, forcing Save as doesn't solves the problem.

If you save as a template then the user would be asked to rename it or it
would be given a name + 1,2, (next sequence number)

witek,
If it has been saved, you cannot *UnSave* it.
What you are asking makes no sense.

I thought that maybe I can.
It makes sense, simply there is no function which allows to do that.

It makes sense. It is similar to what I wanted to achive. Thanks.
