How do you make a backup file - .bak or MS equivalent?
I have been using Lotus. When you SAVE AS you are given the choice to make a
BAK (backup) file. Is there a similiar command in Excel? When I use SAVE AS it just asks if I want to replace. Thanks for any help. |
Another approach saves the file in a backup folder.
Sub Backup() 'kept in personal.xls & assigned to toolbar button On Error GoTo BackupFile MkDir CurDir & "\Backup" BackupFile: With ActiveWorkbook MyWB = .Path & "\BACKUP\" & .Name .SaveCopyAs MyWB .Save End With End Sub -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Terry_BWL" wrote in message ...

Hi Terry
File Save as Tools General options, checkmark in 'Always create backup'. George Gee *Terry_BWL* has posted this message: I have been using Lotus.

Thanks to both of you for the help.
