Can't name new workbook
Is it possible to name a new workbook in VBA? I keep trying to, and get a
message that workbook.name is ready-only. If it's read-only, does that mean you can't name a workbook in VBA? I thought I had a long time ago, but I can't find the code in my library. Confused. wbNew.name = "Ted" <---Compile error. Can't assign to read-only property. |

Can't name new workbook
You need to save it to give it a new name. Use
wbNew.SaveAs (Filename) "salgud" wrote: Is it possible to name a new workbook in VBA? I keep trying to, and get a message that workbook.name is ready-only.

Can't name new workbook
Yep, that is what the help files say. The workbook's name is its filename on
the hard disk, so you have to execute code that will change its name there. If the workbook is open, you should be able to use the SaveAs method like Barb posted. If it is not open, the you can rename the file on the disk using VB's Name..As statement. For example... Name "C:\Users\Rick\Documents\NewBook.xls" As "C:\Users\Rick\Documents\Ted.xls" assuming its current name is "NewBook". -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "salgud" wrote in message .. .
