code to skip excel save as overwrite prompt

[bisetti]

I have a code that uses savas to back up a file. first it saves it then it does a save as to back it up. however i dont want a new file every time its saved. i just want to save as a certain name and write over it each time. is there a way to avoid the prompt that says a file with that name already exsists do you wish to overwrite it?

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
' Your save code
Application.DiplayAlerts = True

Should take care of it for you.

HTH,

Here is the code I put that into:

ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=Range("B299")
Application.DiplayAlerts = True

And this is what I get:

Run time error '438'
Object doesnt support this property or method

It them hilights the line:

Application.DiplayAlerts = True


Any suggestions?

Yup...My bad spelling is to blame...

Application.DiplayAlerts = True

Should be:

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
