Save Workbook Copy To Same Path As Original
Aug 27, 2007
I'm trying to save a copy an excel file in the same directory of the original file. The code is pretty standard but it does not work if the file is stored in C: (only c: ) Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong? Anyways here is the code in case someone is interested in trying it out:
Sub CreateCopy()
ChDrive ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir ThisWorkbook.Path
fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", _
InitialFileName:="CMS_" & Format(Now(), "mm-dd-yyyy"))
If fileSaveName <> False Then
MsgBox "Backup copy saved as: " & fileSaveName
End If
End Sub

I have been trying to edit a code which previously saved a copy in a new workbook to a specific folder/path. (Additionally it copies and clears some figures, but this is working as it should.)
However I would like the copy to be saved at the same location as the original workbook, regardless of the path the original workbook is saved.
I.e if I need to move the workbook containing the code to a new folder/location, when using the macro, the new copy should be stored in the same folder/location as the original one.
For now it is only saving the copy into "My Documents"
Code:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 16-02-2009 by ceng
'
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Select
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
ActiveWorkbook.Path & Range("D3"), _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
[Code] ........

I want to have a user press a button on a worksheet page to save a copy of the workbook (and be able to name it and choose where to save it to) without closing or modifying the original. Note that if you "save as" manually it renames the workbook and closes the original.

I don't believe this is possible but I've been wrong before.. Is it at all possible to Kill the current workbook using VBA? I " saved as" in another location and do not wish to keep the current workbook.

I was wondering if it is possible to have a macro running that will automatically save a .csv file to specific location and close the file. I would like to have the macro running so that as the files are opened they will be automatically saved to this location.

I've go a shared Workbook, which will be distributed among several users and stored in different places. The workbook uses the following
Sub savemeas()
Worksheets("data").Visible = True
Sheets("data").Copy
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:="d:" & Range("a1").Value, _
FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub
to save the sheet "data" as a text file with a name based on the value of cell a1. All I need is to modify the code so that the target path would not be
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="d:" & Range("a1").Value
but be the same as the source Workbook's - so that I wouldn't have to modify the code for each user separatly, because the sheet would alwayas be saved in the same folder as the current path of the source workbook.

Excel 2002 SP3
When a file is currently open, and the user selects "Save as", it takes them to the files native directory. (Where it was last saved).
If the user has that same file open, opens another file from a different directory, goes back to the first file and selects "Save as", it takes them to the location where the last file was opened from.

I want a Macro which will copy my workbook and paste it into a new workbook. Then it will automatically save it under the SAME name as the original and the SaveAs Box must show up (for cosmetic fixes). It is important it asks if it wants to save it under the same name. Example: My file is called "Summary_2008" and when I hit the Macro it will do those things and it will ask me if I want to save it in the SAME directory under the name "Summary_2008" (I will only add a number then).
(The macro must know how to read the original name since I have 7 possible filenames - it depends on which company I choose, that is why it is important it is saved under the same name)
Sub Zamenjaj()
Worksheets.Copy
Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In Worksheets
Zadnja_vrstica = WS.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Zadnji_stolpec = WS.UsedRange.Columns.Count
For rwIndex = 1 To Zadnja_vrstica
For colIndex = 1 To Zadnji_stolpec
With WS.Cells(rwIndex, colIndex)
If WS.Cells(rwIndex, colIndex).HasFormula Then..........................

A simple one for you, but again my Google skills seem lacking. This must be common practice but until one knows the key combination...
I have created a summary sheet with lots of formulas which analyse other sheets in a workbook. I want to copy this summary sheet to a seperate workbook to use as a template.
Of course, the copying process always links the new (template) sheet to the original workbook it was copied from. How does one copy without forging this link? All I want are the formulas copied across totally unchanged; I really *don't* want to manually edit 50 or so formulas!

I would like to create a copy of an open workbook.
Workbook.SaveAs would seem to be a possibility, but this closes the original workbook - I need to keep the original workbook open as well as the workbook it has been "SavedAs".
I do not want to close the first workbook and repoen it as there are instances where it may be protected and I do not want the user to have to reinput any passwords etc.

I have some code written to duplicate a template and rename the copy to "Working Copy".
But if I run the code more than once, it breaks as VBA tries to overwrite the sheet with the same name.
Would I would like is for the macro to check to see it already exists and duplicate the copy with some type of incremental integer. Thus the first duplicate would be Working Copy 1, and if the macro is run again, the duplicated copy would be Working Copy 2, etc.
here is what I have so far:
Sub SCButton()
Dim i As Integer 'for making Working Copy 1, 2, etc.
Sheets("SCTemplate").Select 'this file will eventually be hidden and thus the user with only see the wokring copies.
Sheets("SCTemplate").Copy After:=Sheets(4)
Sheets("SCTemplate (2)").Select
'some sort of If statement here to check for the sheets
Sheets("SCTemplate (2)").Name = "Calculation"

At my work we are using Excel as a CMS to produce SQL scripts for insertion into a database. The data is then turned into mobile web pages. This involves multiple workbooks - 1 for each main page with the sub-pages as extra worksheets in the book.
Much of the data is duplicated so we have created master workbooks then copied them and laboriously referenced the relevant cells back to the original. That way if any data in the master is changed, all copies will change simultaneously.
This is obviously not the most efficient way of publishing web pages but we are stuck with it for now. So I am wondering if it is possible to write a VBA code to create a copy of the master and then reference all required tables in the worksheets automatically? The tables are all named ranges.

Want to Copy a Module(s) to another workbook in a different path and also password protect it at the same time using VBA.
I need to copy some Module(s) from One WorkBook to another using VBA..
I have used the following code to good effect, however my TargetWb is not at the same path, so I need some modification in this code if that's possible and also this VBA Module which is Copied and Pasted in the Target WOrkbook needs to be Password Protected so that it cannot be tampered.
The code which I'm using currently is:
Code:
Sub CopyModule(SourceWB As Workbook, strModuleName As String, _
TargetWB As Workbook)
' copies a module from one workbook to another
' example:
' CopyModule Workbooks("Book1.xls"), "Module1", _
[Code]...
Code:
Sub Try()
Call CopyModule(Activeworkbook, "Module1", TargetWb)
on this to pass the TargetWb as a variable which can be generated in the code used for generating the File using a Macro..
End Sub
In the above code The SourceWB would be the ActiveWorkbook and the Target Workbook is the file created using another Macro from several sheets of the Active Workbook and its created in a folder with a specific name and therefore the Path is one more level inside than the Active Workbook.
if the Transferred Module can be Passworrd Protected and Locked for editing..for the end user.

I have an Excel sheet that contains a few thousand folder paths in the first column. The first few cells in the column look similar to below.
C:UsersNameDesktopFolder Copy12010360
C:UsersNameDesktopFolder Copy12010361
C:UsersNameDesktopFolder Copy12010362
C:UsersNameDesktopFolder Copy12010363
C:UsersNameDesktopFolder Copy12010364
C:UsersNameDesktopFolder Copy12010365
I am trying to create a macro that will copy any folders that exist in any of the paths listed in the first column. The folders should be copied to the path of the open workbook containing the macro. Below is the macro I have currently, much of which was taken from information I found in this thread [URL]....
VB:
Sub wrapper3()
x = 1
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
While Sheets("Air").Cells(x, 1) <> ""
v = InStrRev(Sheets("Air").Cells(x, 1), "")
dest = ActiveWorkbook.Path & Mid(Sheets("Air").Cells(x, 1), v, 99)
[Code]...
This code seems to work fine if all of the folders exist to be copied. My problem is that some do not and it is creating a "Path Not Found" error for which I need a fix. If the folder doesn't exist at the path nothing should be copied and the next path can be evaluated.

I am successfully opening a .csv file using a variable value stored in a named range in my Main file (the variable includes the directory and path).
I copy data from the .csv file to the Main file then I need to close the .csv file without saving but I want to do that by using the
Windows("xxxx").Activate
command where "xxxx" is the namedrange in my Main file which stores the .csv filename (without the directory and path prefix).
I can use the
ActiveWindow.ActivatePrevious
command but if I have another workbook open, this one closes instead of the .csv file I opened from the macro.
I realise this is probably very basic and I've searched the forums but can't find any identical postings.

1) I need to add an edit check
2) have a copy of Active Workbook Path stamped onto spreadsheet with date and time to create a visual record of where the file has been saved (described after the code below).
1) I need to verify that two cells (S7 and S9) are not blank before running my code below (=IF(OR(S7<>"",S9<>""),RUN CODE,"You must select your Provider or Division before you can save this document")).
- If both of these cells are blank a message box should notify the user that they must select the provider and/or division before they can continue with the save.
- If one or more of these cells are not blank the code below should run.

I have created a workbook that imports data from another workbook which is used frequently on a network drive. After I import the data to my new workbook, it locks the original workbook for editing. Is there a property that will allow me to disable this 'locked for editing' read only mode or any other way to get around this?

How to copy the entire worksheet into a new workbook and save the file to a specific directory with the following filename format ("exceptions191011 - ie. the word exceptions followed by today's date in ddmmyy format).
Here is what I've got so far:
Code:
Sub SaveAs()
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
FPath = "G:Exceptions"
FName = "Exceptions" & Format(Date, "ddmmyy") & ".xls"
Sheets("DataSort").Copy
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "" & FName
End Sub
How to add the following condition that if a file already exists with that name then to bring up an error message stating the file already exists? As well as save the new workbook, it appears to close the original workbook - can I stop this?

I know that the line in my code Worksheets.Copy is NOT what I need to have to make this work, but with it it's the closest I could get to what I want.
I want the user to be able to click the SAVE command button, be allowed to either accept or change the default save options, save the current workbook and then go right back to the form that has the SAVE command button. Sounds simple, I know, but when you don't know the right commands to save the WORKBOOK, not just the WORKSHEETS, it becomes a P.I.A.
I know there's a lot there, but here's my code, which is just a slightly altered version of the code by Ron de Bruin:
Private Sub SaveData_Click()
'If no date has been selected then don't allow SAVE
If PubDateLabel.Caption = "" Then
MsgBox "Publication Date not set. You must select a date before saving.", vbCritical, "No Publication Date!"
Exit Sub
End If

I have a workbook with a worksheet named "Report"... this sheet and it's macros generate a report from data on another sheet. I'm adding a button to copy the (filled) Report sheet to a new workbook, rename the new sheet in the new workbook "Rep[Name]", then save and close the new workbook. I've recorded a maco of me doing these tasks manually, but what's recorded seems very generic, and does not seem to specify what's really occurring...
For example (in part);
> Rightclick on the Report tab
> Move or Copy
> To Book: (new book)
> [x]Create a Copy
> [OK]
yields:
Sub Macro1()
Sheets("Report").Select
Sheets("Report").Copy
End Sub
This recorded macro does not specify (new book), or Before:"Sheet1" as was the result of my actions... and when replayed back, only makes a copy in the active workbook, before the active sheet...
