Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help me. I am a complete novice at VBA so please excuse me.

I have some code, which opens another work book, "saves as" in a different folder then deletes the file.
This is done to keep the links on a linked document when moving the linked documents.

I want to know how do I automatically save the last document which is opened instead of getting a prompt to save changes made.

here's my code.

' Macro1 Macro
'
Sub Open_Acc1_CANCEL()
'
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"W:\Accumulative\Accumulative 2018-2019\SSC8 - Health & Fitness.xlsm", _
UpdateLinks:=0
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Windows("HAF959 - Mental Health"). _
Activate
For Each w In Application.Workbooks
w.Save
Next w
Application.Quit


Dim strWbKill As String
With ThisWorkbook
strWbKill = .FullName
.SaveAs "W:\Cancelled courses\HAF959 - Mental Health.xlsm"
End With
KILL strWbKill
ActiveWorkbook.Close


End Sub


When all this code is run, there is one last document which Is W:\Accumulative\Accumulative 2018-2019\SSC8 - Health & Fitness.xlsm . I am prompted to save but I need the code to save automatically.

pulling my hair out lol....

Best,

LG
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Hi there, one way to get rid of that prompt to save is by using this:

Code:
Applicaion.ScreenUpating = False
Applicaton.DisplayAlerts = False

ScreenUpdating will allow the macro to run, but will not show you what the macro is doing until it is complete. The DisplayAlerts will simply block any alerts/prompts that would normally pop up when doing each step manually. Don't forget to set these to true again at the very end of your macro.

Edit: I should mention that with the SaveAs method, with DisplayAlerts being set to false, it will automatically select yes for SaveAs.

Do you know where I should add it? It keeps saying object needed..

There's a typo in the first line - it should be:

Rich (BB code):
Application.ScreenUpating = False

It says object doesn't support this property or method.

here's the code:

' Macro1 Macro
'
Sub Open_Acc1_CANCEL()
'
Application.ScreenUpating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"U:\WIP\Stuff\AREA8B\SSC8B - Travel & Tourism\SSC8B - Travel & Tourism.xlsm", _
UpdateLinks:=0
ActiveWorkbook.Save

Windows("TAT900 - Level 1 Award in Travel & Tourism - 03.10.2018 - FULL.xlsm"). _
Activate
For Each w In Application.Workbooks
w.Save
Next w
Application.Quit


Dim strWbKill As String
With ThisWorkbook
strWbKill = .FullName
.SaveAs "U:\TAT900 - Level 1 Award in Travel & Tourism - 03.10.2018 - FULL.xlsm"
End With
KILL strWbKill
ActiveWorkbook.Close



End Sub

My mistake - there were actually two typos!

Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Thanks for correcting this! For some reason the quick reply section does not agree well with my browser and lags often, missing letters that I type
