Using VBA Code To Save A Workbook
May 17, 2006
is it possible to use code to save a workbook? I know this is pretty basic, but for the life of me, I cannot answer this question searching the entire website and forums.
I'm currently creating what could be called a "yearly timesheet" for a small company and trying to automate it as much as possible. I've created several buttons along with input boxes to create the data, now I would like to make two more, one to save the worksheet (preferrably using data from one cell as the workbook name) and a second to send the workbook to the local, default printer. I've come across the topics on stopping Excel from automatically asking the user to save it, etc etc but none along the lines of "this is how you create a button that if clicked, saves the workbook."

My company has files that are already in use. I don't know too many details about how they work, but somehow saving the file will screw it up and my boss has to go back and reset something or other to correct it. Obviously it's connected to some other software somewhere. The code below will block Save and Save-As. BUT how do I get the file to hold onto the code without actually saving the file after the code is added (since the file shouldn't be saved)?
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveAsUI = False Then
Cancel = True
[Code].....

I'm trying to find a way to save a single sheet of an excel workbook and in the same process delete all vba code and shapes from the new single sheet workbook. I was looking around and found this code which does save only the single sheet to a new one sheet workbook but doesn't delete the vba and shape that I have used to assign macros to in the original.
Code:
Sub SaveSheetAsNewBook()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim InitFileName As String
Dim fileSaveName As String
Dim wshape As Shape
InitFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & Format(Date, "mm.dd.yy")
[code]....

I have a code that saves my worksheet once it closed. At the moment it saves the Active worksheet which is Sheet1
The problem i have is i have a few vlookup formulas that reference hidden worksheets Sheet2 & Sheet3
Would it be possible to modify this code so it saves the entire workbook?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim bk1 As Workbook
Dim bk As Workbook
Dim myfilename As String
myfilename = "C:files" & Range("B10") & " - " & Range("J10") & ".xls"
Set bk = ActiveWorkbook
Set bk1 = Workbooks.Add(Template:=xlWBATWorksheet)
bk1.Worksheets(1).Name = "Sheet1"
bk.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy _
bk1.Worksheets("Sheet1")
On Error GoTo 0
bk1.SaveAs Filename:=myfilename, _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, _
Password:="", _
WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWindow.Close
End Sub

I have a workbook that is shared between 10 users and this work book is known as Master, what I don't want to happen is for one of the users to over write and save it. So is there a way one not allowing the user to save but allow the user to save as.

I want is a Macro that will save the file as .csv, with the same filename and location as the original (just in csv format). A hotkey would be quite handy for this. I tried using the macro recorder and fiddled around with the code a bit but my programming knowledge is quite limited and I ended up with something that doesn't quite work as i'd like. I'm sure this would only take a few seconds to code for an experienced user, which is why I post here. I would post my attempt at doing it myself but i'm on a computer that doesn't have excel at the moment.

I am attempting to save a workbook when it opens, but when the code is run, it is not saving. For the purposes of finding the problem with the code, I have simplified it down to the following:
Code:

Range("C3") = "HEY"[code]......

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.

Each of the worksheets in my model use A1 as a control cell for any errors and inconsistencies. My aim is to disable save and close commands in case A1 is not equal to 0 in any of the worksheets.
The code I currently use for that purpose is as follows.

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 have two workbooks open. I need to "Save As" and close workbook 2 with a file name from a cell in Workbook 1. The macro is running from workbook 1.
I'm guessing a change in the last line. I don't know what Dim means either.
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
FPath = "G:"
FName = Sheets("sheet 1").Range("A1").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "" & FName

I have a spreadsheet that data gets exported to from a software program. There is information such as customer name, part number, inquiry number, etc that I'd like to use to develop a log of all my estimates I create for parts. I'd like excel to take the cells I select and insert them into certain cells in the other workbook and automatically save that workbook. This will create a log of all my estimates where I can then link the full estimate to the log. The information will have to go in the next available row. Is there any way I can accomplish this without having to open the other workbook and save the work book each time?

Need VBA code to save column J of open workbook called LmbcAcctsPayable.xls, Sheet1, to same workbook & sheet called LmbcAcctsPayable.xls, Sheet1, when save is not selected.
Reason: The workbook is usually not saved because it is more of a templet with names in column A. Column J is updated with a date when a row is used so I need the column J to copy automatically to the blank templet when exiting without saving (using ThisWorkbook.Save = True in Auto_Close). That way, rows not being used for a long period of time can be periodically eleminated.

I snagged this code out from another project I wrote, and it works fine in that one, but doesn't in the new project.
What I want, is when the person presses the exit button, it will save whatever was done, its running as a form printer and database. The code below is the code for my exit button.
Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Dim sAnswer As String
Dim i As Integer
' ****************
' ** Exit Button**
' ****************
When it gets to "If ActiveWorkbook.Saved = False Then" it does put the question out "Do you want to save changes" I click Yes and it doesn't save it.. I have tried both activeworkbook and thisworkbook ... I copied the code and verified all is good to go..

I have a Sub SaveFile() in a standard module and a Sub in ThisWorkbook module that will call that Sub; however, I have another Sub CopySheet() that I would like skip the Sub SaveFile(). The reason I do not want the Sub SaveFile() to run is because I am making 19 copies of the first sheet and I do not want the user to have to click "Yes" 19 times. How can I have Sub Savefile() ignored when I run Sub CopySheet().
Sub SaveFile()
Dim Ans As Integer
Dim Filt As String
Ans = MsgBox("Confirm you want to save this File." & (Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & _
"File will save as: Backup - (SheetNumber).xls in current directory", vbYesNo)
If Ans = vbNo Then Exit Sub
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=ActiveWorkbook.Path & "Backup - " & ThisWorkbook.Name
.............
End Sub
Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Call SaveFile
End Sub
Sub CopyBook()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To 3
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & CStr(i) & ".xls"
Next i
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub

I am trying to create a beforesave code within my template. The template has certain fields that are blank and when the end user enters data, I want them to be able to click on save or the blue disk and it saves it to a new location, based on their user and some of the cells within the form. I do not want the template to be saved with the data they input. The data they input is saved only when they click the blue disk and it saves to another location, with their username and certain cells in the form. Then the end user can continue using that same template for the next entry and so on. I have a beforeclose that asks them if they really want to close or not. The only time they would close, or hit the big red X is when they are done with all their entries for the day. Here is my code for beforesave:

Currently I have an excel form that I am working on. I just figured out how to get it to open when I open the workbook. I am wondering is there code out there that will prompt excel to auto save the worksheet that the form writes to when the "OK" button on my form is clicked. I want to be able to save the data without having to rely on the user to remember to save everytime entry is complete. if there is a code for this function, where would I place it in my code listing?

Is there a way to have excel automatically save the workbook every 5 minutes or so? I'm not talking about the backup option (tools-options-save) I mean do a hard save?
Or would this warrant a timed VBA code? If so, can someone build me one quickly? I'm kinda in a time crunch - sorry for last minute notice. Co-worker just deleted 8 hours of work bec "she didn't" know to save it....

Dim myFileName As String
Dim myworksheet As Variant
myworksheet = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
myFileName = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("h1").Value
ChDir "C:TechnologyComponents"
ActiveWorkbook.saveas Filename:=myFileName
There is only one sheet in this workbook, the sheet name changes each time I run other codes. I am bringing the value of the sheet name into a H1 cell and trying to save with that name.
