Good Evening

Looking for some assist here. I am saving a workbook whichcontains several worksheets. When the new file is created there are two issues.

1. Message indicating to save the new file as an xlsx not amacro enabled file.

2. The new Worksheet the sheets have been grouped.

How can I avoid each of the above.

The code I am currently working with is:

Code:
Sub SaveE()
Dim Mypath As String
Dim Filename As String
Mypath = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\"
Filename = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetBaseName(ActiveWorkbook.Name)
Sheets.Select
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Mypath & " " & Filename & " " & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=51
End Sub

 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
What happens with

Code:
Sub SaveE()
Dim Mypath As String
Dim Filename As String
Mypath = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\"
Filename = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetBaseName(ActiveWorkbook.Name)
'Sheets.Select
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Mypath & " " & Filename & " " & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=52
End Sub

not sure why you have the & " " & in there?

Try this

Code:
Sub SaveE()
  Dim Mypath As String
  Dim Filename As String
[COLOR=#0000ff]  Application.DisplayAlerts = False[/COLOR]
  Mypath = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\"
  Filename = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetBaseName(ActiveWorkbook.Name)
  ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Mypath & " " & Filename & " " & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=51
End Sub

The & " " & was used as a spacer in another code of mine, not relevant here.Thank You Mark works perfect.

Your saving it as the new file name and extension not creating a new workbook so it is still open but renamed.
