Hello,
I have a workbook that I want to save as (in the same folder) version1, then version2, then version3, etc. depending on how many times I save it. I want to keep the original file as is.
I want the version to increase by 1 each time its saved. So in the same folder I might see FileName (version1), FileName (version2), etc. The extension will be .xlsm

Thank you
 
Place the fncGetNextVersionNumber function in the same Workbook Code Module as the subAdHocSaveCopyAs procedure and let me know.

This is how I developed it and it works fine for me.
After investigating, I activated the Micro Scripting Runtime in the 2nd file, and it worked.
I didn't realize the References related to each workbook.
Problem Solved.

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).
I've add both GetNext function and AdHoc procedure to the Workbook Code Module in both testing files.
The first (NBA) works fine. But in the second, I receive an error: Compile error, and this line is highlighted-Dim objFSO As FileSystemObject, user defined type not defined
Set a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime by using
' Tools > References in the Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11).
