awesome! thanks
ReplyDeletewhen does this boolean ever become true? it should be false by default
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteBut I do have a question. I am using a macro toolbar to save the copy of the workbook, but is save the macro instead of my worksheet, how can I fix this problem?
If you are using something like 'ThisWorkbook.SaveAs' from the Code it will save the Macro as Thisworkbook refers to the workbook from which the code is executed.
ReplyDeleteEither activate the workbook you want to save or use the Workbooks collection
Workbooks("Sample.xls").SavecopyAs
I have the following code:
ReplyDeleteActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs sArivefile
So a copy of the file is "called" sArchivefile. Everything works nicely but if I look at the copy-file the properties of the file (in menu File, then Properties) are gone. For example the title of the document, the creator of the document and the hyperlink-base is gone. Can someone explain how this happens and how it can be solved that this information is also copied?
wow.. ive been looking for this forever. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe reason your file properties have gone is because the savecopyas function doesn't allow you to define the file type. If you add in something like & ".xlsm" at the end it will work.
ReplyDeleteJust had that problem but otherwise this all works great, thanks for your help.
