SaveAs without changing file

[SoftwareTester]

My project has ben stored in a .mpp file like D:\MyProjects\MyProject.mpp

I want to save the data from MyProject.mpp into a temporary file
C:\Temp\TempData.mpd as I want to access the database structure described in
PJDB.HTM directly.

I can do this using
FileSaveAs Name:="<C:\Temp\TempData.mpd>\" & ActiveProject.Name,
FormatID:="MSProject.MPD"
(and use the file afterwards)

My problem is that after saving MS Project will 'switch' to this file. I
don't want that, I want MS Project to still use the original name (and
directory, and type) of the projectfile .
How can I do that?

This behavior is true of almost every software tool I can think of.
The solution is to close the file, then reopen the original file by browsing
to it.
I usually give those sorts of tempfiles a different name so I can easily
tell them apart.
