Replace an Existing File
I am working on an application in VBA that will read in yesterday's file,
save it as filename_OLD.xls, then replace the data in it with today's data and save it as filename.xls. How do I replace the existing filename_OLD.xls without having any messages or prompts appear? The VBA help tells me everything except what I want to know. I've tried .SaveAs and doing a ..DeleteFile before saving the new version, but I've had problems with both. |

Replace an Existing File
Hi Jim
If you want to overwrite the file then you can use Application.DisplayAlerts = False 'SaveAs code Application.DisplayAlerts = True -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Jim Skrydlak" wrote in message ...

Replace an Existing File
Thank you. Turns out that I was also trying to write to a directory to which
I had only read-access. Makes things difficult :-) Jim "Ron de Bruin" wrote: Hi Jim If you want to overwrite the file then you can use Application.DisplayAlerts = False 'SaveAs code Application.DisplayAlerts = True -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Jim Skrydlak" wrote in message ...
