Save as new file without changing existing file
Lets say an excel file A.xls has been opened and has had some changes made
to it but not saved. Is it possible in VBA to save this file as B.xls including the changes and have file A.xls still open in excel so that if the file were to be closed you could still select to save the changes or not? Thanks Clayton |

Save as new file without changing existing file
You can use SaveCopyAs with code to save the file in the folder you want and with the name you want

Save as new file without changing existing file
Unfortuantly what I want is not that simple.
I basically want a macro that works just like an auto save works. So if I run the macro a file "B.xls" is saved which is a snap shot of what the file "A.xls" currently is. Then if I close file "A.xls" I am still asked if I would like to save my changes before closing.
