SaveAs Confict Resolution Help ?
 
Greetings,
Using xl2007
Code:
NewWBName =
Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:="0-Job.xls", _
filefilter:=" Excel 2000-2003 Workbook (*.xls), *.xls,")
If NewWBName = False Then
Range("Date").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
Else
NewWB_Setup 'Create a copy of "Report" and convert formulas to
values
' Save new file as 2000-2003 format from version 2007.
NewWB.SaveAs NewWBName, FileFormat:=56, CreateBackup:=False
End If

The above code works well except if the file name already exists and the
user selects 'No' or 'Cancel' from the Conflict Resolution Dialog box.
| A file named '...\0-Job.xls' already exists in this location. Do you want
to replace it?
| Yes / No / Cancel

How can I change my code to handle those selections?
Thanks.

SaveAs Confict Resolution, Failure
 
Sorry, I neglected to state the failure.
The line - NewWB.SaveAs NewWBName, FileFormat:=56, CreateBackup:=False
causes Run-time error'1004': Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook' failed

you could use
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

which completely avoids the issue -- unfortunatley is doesn't stop the user
saving over files accidentally

You could add a line that has checks if the file exists --- before the file
Save As line, and then handle the result

Thanks for the reply.
It worked to use the 'Dir' function to test for an existing filename and
then use Application.DisplayAlerts = False to avoid the alert.
Thanks again.
