Saving a file
 

I have a file named "Process Tech Time Sheet Ver2.1.XLS"
I modify it and then want to save it under another name say "jobsave1"

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=jobsave1
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Windows("Process Tech Time Sheet Ver2.1.XLS").Activate
Range("D1").Select
Range("D3").Select

The problem is after I save "jobsave1" I can no longer activate "Process
Tech Time Sheet Ver2.1.XLS"

How do I save "jobsave1" and then return to "Process Tech Time Sheet
Ver2.1.XLS"

You cannot just activate it again. You have to open it. Easiest would be to
set a variable to the name of the workbook, and then open it using the
variable

You will need to close down JobSave1 and re-open Process Tech Time Sheet
Ver2.1.XLS. When you do the Save As (the same as if you do a normal save as
not through code) your original file is no longer open...

Sorry you could also do SaveCopyAs (instead of just SaveAs) at which point
you will have both the original and the new file open...

"SaveCopyAs" did the trick - Thanks
