Excel Save As Should Default File Save Type To XLSX Using VBA

Aug 21, 2012

What I am trying to do is that I have an excel file with macros and it is a read-only file. In order for the user to save, I want them to only be able to save as a .xlsx file as it disables all macros. If for whatever reason, the user wants to save the file as another .xlsm file, they should be allowed but before they save, a "are you sure you want to save as .xlsm?" message should pop up.

All the options in the save as box should still be available in case they want to save in that particular format. Just that the .xlsx should be the default.

some VBA like:


Open.file strPath & nextfile
where strpath = C:Temp

What should the line be? or is it more complex than a single line ?

How To Save File With Correct File Extension (XLS Or XLSX)

Mar 12, 2014

How can I save worksheet from existing workbook as a new workbook with extension .xls or .xlsx depending on the version of Excel on which the original was opened and no matter the extension of original?

My code that I was trying to create all above does not work, because even if I am using Excel 2007, 2010 or 2013 it will still be saving only as .xls.

Save As File Type To Parent Location

Apr 21, 2006

I've been searching all morning through various posts on this subject, but I can't find anything that I can adapt to my needs. Here is the code I have:

ChDir "C:Documents and SettingsmynameDesktop"
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsmynameDesktopBook1.txt", FileFormat:=xlText, _
CreateBackup:=False

This file will be used accross multiple computers and therefore the directory will always change. What I need to hapen, is for this code to save the workbook in the same directory as the origional file. I also want the file name to refer to a cells value, as I will be having the user define the name through a userform.

Default Excel File Type When Opening?

Mar 21, 2014

is it possible to change the settings on your computer so that when you open Excel, it opens it as a certain type of file? I like working with .xlsb because I work with large sets of data all of the time and find that they open faster and are faster to work with. Currently every time I open Excel, it opens as .xlsx.

Using Save Invoice With New Name Macro But Need It To PDF Not XLSX

Aug 13, 2013

I am currently using some of Mr. Excels macro coding to firstly create consecutive invoice numbers and secondly save the new file into a destination folder and clear out the cells that have had data in them. This part seems to work flawlessly. I have noticed though that the new .xlsx file has the macro buttons viewable on it and to me looks unprofessional if i send out an invoice to a customer that has the buttons shown. So my resolution is to export the file as a PDF rather than the .xlsx.

My code is as follows

Code:
Sub NextInvoice() Range("H13").Value = Range("H13").Value + 1
Range("B24:H43").ClearContents
End Sub

Sub SaveInvWithNewName()
Dim NewFN As Variant
' Copy Invoice to a new workbook

[Code] .......

Excel 2003 :: Unable To Allow Users To Make Changes To Workbook But Only Be Able To Do Save As Not Save

Dec 3, 2012

I have an expense report, which was originally done in Excel 2003. It still prompts users to open as read only however if they select no, they are not prompted for the password, and it has allowed them to save, so when the next person opens it, they have the previous person's report instead of the clean workbook. I have tried everything to put a password onto it. I know this is really basic stuff, but maybe I am missing a step? I want the end user to be able to make all the changes they want in read only mode and then do a save as, but if the select No when prompted "Open as Read-only?" they should have to put a password in.

Jan 27, 2014

A co-worker of mine is exporting files from Quickpen as excel files, but every time he names the files with any Uppercase letters in the files name, they are automatically changing to all lower case. Even when he tries to rename the files, they will not stay with any uppercase letters....I have searched all over and cannot find a solution. If he sends ME the file, I can open it in excel and save it with any cases.

VBA (Save As) No Error But File Does Not Save

Oct 10, 2011

I have written the following simple macro to import some data into a worksheet and then prompt the user to save the file in Excel 2003 format (the system to which we will upload this data does not accept formats later than 2003). The template is in "*.xlsm" format.

The code executes without error, but when the user hits the "Save" button in the "Save As" dialog box, nothing happens. The "Save As" box closes, but no file is saved.

Code:
Private Sub cmdImportData_Click()
Dim sFName As String
'On Error Resume Next
PrepData
CopyData
FormatColumns
'prompt the user to save the file in "*.xls" format
sFName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("upload", "Excel files (*.xls), *.xls")
End Sub

Excel 2011 :: Save As XLS File VBA On Mac OS X?

Aug 15, 2013

I am running Excel 2011 on Mac OS X. I am trying to save a file (.xls) to a server (Autumn). I have tried several configurations to try to get the file saved properly. File name is "Testfile.xls"

1. folderpath = "Autumn:Tim:TestFolder:" & filename --Activeworkbook.Saveas filename:=folderpath

2. folderpath = "Tim:TestFolder:" & filename Activeworkbook.Saveas filename:=folderpath

3 Activeworkbook.Saveas folderpath

When I try this, I get an Error 1004 indicating that it cannot find the file. Do I need to eliminate the .xls and then specify that when I do the saveas?

Save Excel Sheet As PDF File ()

Mar 15, 2006

I've been working on this problem on and off for a number of months now and have just about got it sussed so thought I'd share it with you as it has mostly been down to postings on this board that I've got it in the end.

Thanks especially to 'biggoan' for his post: http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewto...136&highlight=

Anyway, this seems to avoid the need for a class module but does need you to install the Acrobat Distiller object references in Tools...References in the VBA editor.

You also need to go into the printer properties of the your Adobe PDF 'Printer' and under Printing Preferences...Adobe PDF Settings deselect the Do not send fonts to "Adobe PDF" option. Why, who knows!

Private Sub Create_PDF()
'Created by Dom Hill with considerable asistance from Biggoan and Mr Excel

Dim tempPDFFileName As String
Dim tempPSFileName As String
Dim tempPDFRawFileName As String
Dim tempLogFileName As String

Sheets("Sales Data").Activate

tempPDFRawFileName = "C:" & Range("A1").Value

'Define the postscript and .pdf file names.

tempPSFileName = tempPDFRawFileName & ".ps"
tempPDFFileName = tempPDFRawFileName & ".pdf"
tempLogFileName = tempPDFRawFileName & ".log"

' Print the Excel range to the postscript file

ActiveSheet.PrintOut Copies:=1, preview:=False, ActivePrinter:="Adobe PDF", printtofile:=True, Collate:=True, prtofilename:=tempPSFileName

'Create PDF File

Dim myPDFDist As New PdfDistiller
myPDFDist.FileToPDF tempPSFileName, tempPDFFileName, tempShowWindow

'Delete PS File
Kill tempPSFileName
Kill tempLogFileName
End Sub

Not sure why the macro creates a log file but if you know more about VBA then you probably would.

Excel 2010 :: Save CSV File With Non-English Characters?

Dec 5, 2012

I run excel 2010... I have xls file (see file attached) with both English and Non English characters.

When I save this file as xls or xlsx - everything is good, but when I save the file as CSV and try to open it later - I see that the English characters stays the same but the non English characters become gibberish.

How can I save a file (that include some non English characters) as CSV without loosing the non English characters? Is there a way to do that from within the excel 2010 menus? Or maybe there is an external tool?

Excel File Takes Long Time To Save

Jan 20, 2014

[URL]

Excel takes about 10 minutes in the saving process. When I say 10 minutes, I mean, the excel screen freezes (says not responding) for about 10 minutes, then it actually saves at the very end in the normal time any other file would take as you watch the progress bar go forward.

I know many of the common answers and have tried. reducing the calculation time (which in turn reduces the saving time).

But in my circumstance, the calculation takes a very reasonable amount of time, and you see the progress % going forward.

- I would say I have about 2000 rows, and 15 columns.
- They have sumifs formulas.
- They link to a different workbook.
- The workbook I am working on saves to the network
- the source of my sumifs are also in the same folder on the network
- the recalculation takes about 10 seconds at most
- i have turned off recalculate before saving, it is all on manual calcs

- when i hit save, there are no calcs being performed
- there are no macros in the workbook
- there are only about 2 names in the name manager
- then it freezes for about 10 minutes.
- then the progress bar starts moving then it saves.

What is it doing in those 10 minutes?

1 more item to note, when I break the links to the workbook and thereby removing the sumifs formulas, its a snap.

Why does the existence of the sumifs extend saving time? I would completely understand if it elongated calculation time, but if calculation is off, then why does it even worry about it when saving?
