Hi:

I am using an Excel object to save data from a VB Application. The application has to be run unattended coz it collects the data from the database and save it to Excel file every midnight. The problem is it gives a message box "A file names xyz.xls already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it?"
which i do not want coz it is supposed to be unattended. Following line of code I am using

oSheet.Saveas "xyz.xls"

Is there a way out ??? thanks in advace...
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
This should work.


<pre>
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
oSheet.SaveAs "xyz.xls"
Application.DisplayAlerts = True</pre>
