Apologies if this is a duplicate

I have one workbook getting data from another- FileB (destination) imports data from FileA (source). Both files are in the same folder. This works fine EXCEPT when I make a copy of FileA using Save As to a different folder with a new Filename. Save As to NewFolder with NewFilename done by VBA.

FileA (source) Path:My Excel:FileA.xlsm
FileB (destination) Path:My Excel:FileB.xlsm
Copy of FileA is saved to Path:My Excel:Backups:FileA 12-5-18.xlsm. This part works fine EXCEPT-

The links in FileB change to the Path and Filename of the copy. I want them to stay the original path and filename.

Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Hi,
Why don't you save the file at the main directory MyExcel and then copy it to the backup one?

Regards,
Sebastian
