Hi,

I currently have a macro in my file (XLSM) which has a step where the user saves out the workbook in the current format.

Sub SaveAS_Final()
Dim strName As String


SvName = Sheets("Instructions").Range("C51")

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show SvName


End Sub


But since my file is an XLSM file, when the Save As window pops up, it defaults to XLSM, but I actually want to save as an XLSX file. Is there anyway to tweak my current code to make that change in file type instead of the user having to manually change?

Thanks for any tips!

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Just a little more digging found this... Try Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show SvName, 51


51 = XLSX
52 = XLSM
