File not saving
 

I am trying to save another (differently named) version of my file whenever
I save.

It works fine if I use the normal save, but if the save is triggered from
the Before_Close event, it just skips over the following line...

ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=CurrPath & "\" & CurrName

in debug, it finds the line (it goes yellow), it doesn't generate any
errors, but it steps through the line without doing any saving

The CurrPath and CurrName variables do contain valid text

Why is it not saving?

thanks

Try

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=CurrPath & "\" & CurrName
End Sub

Oops...Disable the events and then save as..

Application.EnableEvents = False
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=CurrPath & "\" & CurrName
Application.EnableEvents = True

Take a look at VBA's help for .SaveCopyAs

It sounds like that may be more appropriate for you.
