Saving to a database via a macro

[Black Eagle]

Listen - i've made an invoice template, & i'm saving some data to a database (.xls-file). i've also written a macro to save the individual invoices - everything works just fine, apart from this: when i'm using the macro to save (ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs) the data isn't saved to the database.

VERY VERY grateful for help & hints - i've been using this for more than a year, but i still haven't solved this one!

I'm not sure I follow your problem, but maybe you just need to do a regular save also:
ActiveWorkbook.Save

Hope this helps.
Kind regards, Al.

won't work - not in a macro - it only works when i save manually

hi al
sorry been out of comission for a while
i can post some code, but all that is relevant is the mentioned ActiveWorkbook.Save or ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs only that the data isn't saved 2 the database, otherwise it works just fine - my invoices are saved with the so-designed names & everything, but if i want to save data 2 the database/update the database (& i do!), i have to save manually (ex: Ctrl/S) - only then do i get the question "update the existing record" - "create a new record" - "continue without updating" - & it bugs me! because i'm sure THERE IS A WAY 2 do this, & i can't figure it out!
