Hi

I am calling the method to perform a Save As with a filename I am building in the code.

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
FilePath & NewFileName, FileFormat:= _
xlOpenXMLWorkbook, ReadOnlyRecommended:=True, CreateBackup:=False

FilePath and NewFileName are populated with valid data.

If the file exists I get a warning message asking if I want to overwrite the file.
If I click Yes, all works fine and the file is over-written. However if I click 'No' I get the error:
Run-time error '1004'

Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook'
How can I check if the user has clicked 'No' and prevent the error/debug window?

Alternatively, how do I prompt the user to choose their own filename and then do the Save based on the folder and filename they have entered?

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
