Hi All,

At times the excel file saves itself as the workbook name + the computer device name automatically.

I'm using this code to deter this "type" of action but it looks like I am in need of an adjustment.

Can someone care to led a hand?


VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
'10MAY23
 
If ActiveWorkbook Is ThisWorkbook Then

Dim strWBName As String
  strWBName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
 

 
    If SaveAsUI = True Then
        Cancel = True
    
    MsgBox "AUTOSAVED !! Document!", vbInformation, "ProjectUpdate."
    
    End If
 
 

End If

End Sub


Many thanks!
