Hi experts!
Using the SaveAs method to export a sheet:

Sheets("MySheet").SaveAs _ Filename:="C:Documentsmyexport.csv", _ FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False

the worksheet name changes to myexport.csv too, so I cant save the original xls file (the source file, I mean).

Can you gimme the trick?
Thanks
 

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.
Not sure if this works for what you need. But I used this and excel file stayed intact. I'm unsure how to save as other fileformats but mayber you can use this. I got this from posters here and love it. I need my excel file intact because it contain a summary of all PO's created, duplicates and otherwise. Plus I can update vendors, accounts , etc and it is a great source file.

Sheets("Purchase Order").Select
Sheets("Purchase Order").copy
Range("A2:q60").Select
Selection.copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False

Sheets("Purchase Order").Select

Dim Path As String ' current worksheet path
Dim ThisFileNew As String ' new file name including path
Dim Resp As Integer ' user response to overwrite query
Dim i As Integer ' rename workSHEETS

Target = Range("Q1")'cell contain file name of purchase order, concencated vendorname & PO#
'For new file
Path = ThisWorkbook.Path
If Not Path = "" Then Path = Path & ""
ThisFileNew = Path & Target & " .csv"
Resp = vbOK
' Check for duplicate If Dir(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Target & " .csv") <> "" Then
Resp = MsgBox("You are duplicating files. Are you positive you want to continue ? ", vbExclamation + vbOKCancel)
End If
' Save the workbook if file does not exist, if user wants to overwrite it
If Resp = vbOK Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFileNew
Else
Resp = MsgBox("You will need to rename this file manually and log this overwrite with the accounting department", vbInformation)
End If
ActiveWorkbook.Close'guess your file format name would go here

End Sub
