Trap Save / Save As for all Excel workbooks
I'm trying to accomplish the following in Excel 2003: Intercept the
Save / Save As command and prompt user to enter a string that will be used to populate one of the document properties. This was easy enough for any new documents (via Workbook_BeforeSave placed in BOOK. XLT). However, how can I achieve this for files the user, say, receives via email from someone else? I came across a post suggesting Win32 API for a similar task.. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. |

hi, Aurora !
instead of using code within your template ("book.xlt") give a try to application level events - http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/AppEvent.aspx - http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/Events.aspx - http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/Classes.aspx - http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/DefaultMember.aspx hth, hector. __ OP __ I'm trying to accomplish the following in Excel 2003: Intercept theSave / Save As command and prompt user to enter a string that will be used to populate one of the document properties.

thanks for your suggestion. I tried it but am not getting the desired
result. In which project should the class module be stored? I want to trap events regardless of which file the user opens in Excel, and don't want to install add-ins.
