Preventing "Do you want to ov erwrite" screen on saveas

[Jonathan Blitz]

I have code from VB that does SAVEAS for an Excel file in order to add a
password.
Problem is that when I run it the program asked for comfirmation from the
user because I am overwriting the same file.
Is there any way to prevent this?

Wrap the DisplayAlerts = False and True around your code.

Sample code.........

Sub BUandSave2()
'Saves the current file to a backup folder and the default folder
'Note that any backup is overwritten
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs FileName:="E:\GordStuff\Backup\" & _
ActiveWorkbook.Name
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
