How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
you cant on SAVEAS, but you can open by setting wildcards in the filename

Filename: = "I:\users\abc\*book*"

Code:
Windows("Book*").Activate

does not work
