Hello everyone,

I have a macro that opens another excel file, makeschanges in that file and should then save and close the document.
Currently I am using this line of code for saving and closing the document:

Code:
WB2.Close SaveChanges:=True

By using this code it is doing save as meaning it opens an additional window asking where to save the new document. I just want to save the changes to the exisiting document. In other words a simple "Save" instead of "Save As". How do I have to change the code?

Thank you and best regards,
Kristina

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
That line of code is using Save, not SaveAs. If you are being asked for a filename it suggests that the workbook is Read Only.
