Extra "." in file name when creating zip file in 2007 with 2003 co
I have some code that works great in Excel 2003, but in 2007, when creating a
zip file, there is an extra "." in the file name, like filenameZ..zip. It happens in both the filename inside the zip file AND in the zip file itself. Here is the suspect code: FileNameZip = DefPath & Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 4) & ".zip" FileNameXls = DefPath & Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 4) & "Z" & ".xlsm" I've changed the file extension to xlsm, but if I try to change the FileNameXls to Xlsm, it does not work. Does anyone have any ideas? I got this code from Ron several years ago. THanks much! |

In 2007 the file extensions are 4 characters and not 3 (xlsx and xlsm) so
your code Len(activeworkbook.Name) - 4 is not stripping off the "." anymore. It needs to be Len(activeworkbook.Name) - 5 "David" wrote: I have some code that works great in Excel 2003, but in 2007, when creating a zip file, there is an extra "." in the file name, like filenameZ..zip.

David,
File extensions in E2007 are 4 characters .long so your part line Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 4) is taking away the xlsm but not the period and because you then add a period you get 2 Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 5) should do the trick.
