SaveAs filename statement not working on mac laptops

[01's]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for reading my query.

I have written some procedures in VBA Excel on my win 10 laptop. But these procedures are intended to be used by some mac laptop users as well and they are facing error at this particular statement highlighted in red.
But this works fine in windows laptops.

temp1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("EVALUATION DETAILs").Range("F4").Value
temp2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Wlcm Note").Range("G5").Value
Path = ThisWorkbook.Path

Msname = "Mystery_Shopper_" & temp1 & "_" & temp2

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=Path & "" & Msname & "_" & Format(Now(), "DD-MMM-YYYY hh mm AMPM") & ".XLSB", FileFormat:=50

Thanks so much in advance.

Can anyone comment on this? Thanks

I wish I could help. This used to work in Excel 2011 for Mac, but in Excel 2016 or later for Mac, we're working in a "sandbox" that protects Mac users from malicious code.

There are resources, for example on Ron de Bruin's site, that show how this is done. Start here:
Problems with Apple’s sandbox requirements and Mac Office 2016 with VBA code
I have not successfully made this work, so I've disabled these functions in my VBA programs.
