Excel doc keeps making a backup after macro is ran
I have a macro that just updates formatting in an excel document (can link if needed but hoping its a simple fix), but once I click save it creates a backup copy without the format changes in the same directory. Every time I open the excel doc and make a change it creates another backup copy in the same directory. How do I stop this? -- jd316632 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jd316632's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=425 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...d.php?t=107460 |

Does it have a file extension of .xlt? If so, the template cannot be
changed, so it will always have the old file plus a file with any changes. "jd316632" wrote in message ...

Yes it does have a .xlt extension, thank you for the information, I guess I'll just keep deleting them then! JLGWhiz;384390 Wrote: Does it have a file extension of .xlt?

Usually, when a template is saved, it is done with the SaveAs method so it
can be given a different name. If you use, SaveAs and give the file a new name, the problem should go away. "jd316632" wrote in message ...
