Hi

Below is the VBA code that I am using to export data from my workbook to Microsoft teams folder. The newly created file with exported data has a name that is taken from a cell in my workbook itself.
When I hit the Macros button, it should check if same name file already exists in the designated teams folder. If answer is "yes", it should not overwrite, instead there should be a message to change the name and then only it should save.
My current code however lets the file overwrites. Can you please help.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub export1()



Dim worksheet_name As Variant
Dim new_workbook As Workbook
Dim saved_folder As String
Dim fileName As Variant
Dim Username As String

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
' Open a new workbook. Name the workbook
Set new_workbook = Workbooks.Add
new_workbookName = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet 1").Range("E5")

' Copy format and data from column C & E from my workbook and paste it in newly created workbook
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet 1").Activate
Columns("C:E").Select
Selection.Copy
new_workbook.Worksheets(1).Activate
Columns("B:D").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet 1").Activate
Columns("C:E").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("B:D").Select
new_workbook.Worksheets(1).Activate
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

' Save new workbook in the teams folder
Username = "https://ts.xy.com/sites/newfolder/Shared Documents/General/Data Summary/"

new_workbook.SaveAs Username & new_workbookName & ".xlsx", 51

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

new_workbook.Close False


MsgBox "Export complete.", vbInformation

Exit Sub
ErrMsg: MsgBox ("Change the version number")
new_workbook.Close False

End Sub
 
I am unable to get the UNC Path. Also, I was told by one of my colleagues that even if I use it, that may be local to my machine and others may not be able to access it.

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.
If that refers to the suggestion to map a drive, that was only so you could get the server address from the properties sheet for the mapped drive, not for everyone to use your mapping. What I showed you in post 10 worked for everybody. The only difference was that it was in Access, which should not matter.
