I would like to know if there is a way to turn this:
Sub saveas()
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\Toxo QNS temp.xls"
Do
fname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("Save as dayToxoQNS", _
fileFilter:="Excel Files
(*.xls), *.xls")
Loop Until fname <> False
If Dir(fname) <> "" Then
MsgBox "You can't overwrite an existing file try again"
Windows("Toxo QNS temp.xls").Close
Call saveas
into a working version of this:
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\Toxo QNS temp.xls"
Do
fname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("Save as dayToxoQNS", _
fileFilter:="Excel Files
(*.xls), *.xls")
Loop Until (fname <> False) And (Dir(fname) Is "")
The second code gives a type mismatch at the "(Dir(fname) Is "")"
The goal being to stop accidental overwrites and not have to restart
the macro to do it, so that i can drop the altered loop until snippet
into all of the places it would be good to have. If there isnt a handy
way to do it, I am fine with that i would just like to know so i stop
trying to figure it out. Thank you in advance for any responses
