Hi everyone.

I have a macro that includes an e-mail button to e-mail the active workbook as an attachment. Because the recipients add information to it, I included in the e-mailing code the line ActiveWorkbook.Save.

When executed for the first time, this line causes Excel to display the message
"A file named (filename) already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it?"
to which I'd like to code an automatic response of Yes. Better yet, if there is a way to elilminate the message from displaying but allowing the save operation to complete it would be great.

Suggestions please? Thank you all.

You can add Application.DisplayAlerts = False to the beginning of the code. Just make sure to set it to True at the end.

HTH,

Thanks, Smitty... But I need a clarification: the possible responses to the alert I described were Yes, NO and Cancel. Does suppressing the Alert make the saving operation in my macro to assume that the response is Yes?

Yup.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Will save the wb without any alerts.

You can also use ActiveWorkbook.Close True to close and save changes.
