Hi

I have a piece of code in Excel 2003 which at one point does this...

ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs FileName:=XLSsaveStr
SetAttr (XLSsaveStr), vbNormal
Workbooks.Open (XLSsaveStr)
Workbooks(XLSsaveStrName).Activate

Where XLSsaveStrName could be "data.xls" and XLSsaveStr "C:/My data/
data.xls" however the last line generates an error if I change my
folder settings from view file extensions to hide extensions. That is
XLSsaveStrName must become simply "data". The code worked fine until I
distributed to another persons computer who has hidden file
extensions.

Is there a simple solution to the problem before I start attempting to
change XLSsaveStrName using on error and charcter functions? The
internet seemed surprisingly devoid of solutions to this problem when
it could cause drastic problems for people attempting to distribute
their code.

Cheers
Nick
