I'm working in xl2010, and have a workbook with ~70 sheets. I'd like to save the sheets as individual .csvs, each with the name of the sheet. I tried using the following code:
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub SaveShtsAsBook()
    Dim Sheet As Worksheet, SheetName$, MyFilePath$, N&
    MyFilePath$ = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & _
    Left(ThisWorkbook.Name, Len(ThisWorkbook.Name) - 4)
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .DisplayAlerts = False
         '      End With
        On Error Resume Next '<< a folder exists
        MkDir MyFilePath '<< create a folder
        For N = 1 To Sheets.Count
            Sheets(N).Activate
            SheetName = ActiveSheet.Name
            Cells.Copy
            Workbooks.Add (xlWBATWorksheet)
            With ActiveWorkbook
                With .ActiveSheet
                    .Paste
                    .Name = SheetName
                    [A1].Select
                End With
                 'save book in this folder
                .SaveAs Filename:=MyFilePath _
                & "\" & SheetName & ".csv"
                .Close SaveChanges:=True
            End With
            .CutCopyMode = False
        Next
    End With
    Sheet1.Activate
End Sub
But as I've learned, that just saves an .xlsx file with a .csv appended to the name, which doesn't work for the tcsh scripts I need to run on the data after this. I also tried the following, to no avail (the difference is bolded):
Code:
Option Explicit
 
Sub SaveShtsAsBook()
    Dim Sheet As Worksheet, SheetName$, MyFilePath$, N&
    MyFilePath$ = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & _
    Left(ThisWorkbook.Name, Len(ThisWorkbook.Name) - 4)
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .DisplayAlerts = False
         '      End With
        On Error Resume Next '<< a folder exists
        MkDir MyFilePath '<< create a folder
        For N = 1 To Sheets.Count
            Sheets(N).Activate
            SheetName = ActiveSheet.Name
            Cells.Copy
            Workbooks.Add (xlWBATWorksheet)
            With ActiveWorkbook
                With .ActiveSheet
                    .Paste
                    .Name = SheetName
                    [A1].Select
                End With
                 'save book in this folder
                .SaveAs Filename:=MyFilePath _
                & "\" & SheetName, FileFormat:=xlCSV, _
                .Close SaveChanges:=True
            End With
            .CutCopyMode = False
        Next
    End With
    Sheet1.Activate
End Sub
Any guidance is much appreciated!

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
It should be:

Code:
.SaveAs Filename:=MyFilePath _
                & "\" & SheetName & ".csv", Fileformat:=xlCSV
