VBA SaveAs function generates blank CSV file
 
This is a very simple line and it just doesn't work. What it did is just creating a blank csv file with nothing in it (the file name is correct though).


ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\temp\test" & ".csv", _
FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False


And it only happens on one PC. The other PCs runs it perfectly. Can anyone tell why?

All PC's are the same version of Excel? It's possible that on the
problem PC the active workbook is not what you think it is...

I am not sure what you mean. I tried restarting excel and only opening one workbook and it was still the same thing.

Saving a workbook as a CSV file saves only the activesheet.

Maybe the sheet that's active is empty?

No it definitely was not empty. The save to xsl worked fine.

The most stupid thing is, after this line executed I can see the title of the workbook changed to test.csv with full data in it. But when I get out of excel and open the file with notepad it is all empty.
