I have this marco to save a backup copy to another file. The computer asks me if i want to copy over the same file name. if I say "no" or "cancel " the marco trips up (run-time error 1004). how can i prevent this? Is there a way to make marco run the ok button instead of me having to press it every time?
VBA Code:
    ChDir "C:\Users\bluef\OneDrive\Desktop\Excel\Tv shows"
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        "C:\Users\bluef\OneDrive\Desktop\Excel\Tv shows\TV Shows.xlsm", FileFormat:= _
        xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Do you want to overwrite the existing file every time?

Untested, but try
VBA Code:
    ChDir "C:\Users\bluef\OneDrive\Desktop\Excel\Tv shows"
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        "C:\Users\bluef\OneDrive\Desktop\Excel\Tv shows\TV Shows.xlsm", FileFormat:= _
        xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
