Disabled Save As

Posted by Mark on May 01, 2001 7:49 AM

I inherited a file at work from a coworker who disabled the save as function in excel. Does anyone know how that was accomplished and how can I get the save as function restored? Thanks.

Hi Mark

Run this code:

Sub RestoreSaveAs()
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls _
("&file").Controls("&Save as...").Enabled = True
End Sub

I recieved this error when I ran the code. Any thoughts?
Invalid procedure call or argument (Error 5)

No it is not under the file menu and it is not hidden by the double drop down arrow that hides functions not commonly used.

Thanks again Dave

Ok, i understand now, It's not disabled but rather not there at all.

Go to View>Toolbar>Customize Select "Worksheet Menu Bar" and click Reset. This will restore it back to it's default, which means any other Customization will be lost.

If still not there, go back to View>Toolbar>Customize and click the "Commands" tab. Select "File" and then drag the "Save as" command back onto the "File" menu.
