I have a template (macro enabled - xltm) and I've got all the code working to do everything I want it to do. Now all I need is for the end users to not be able to destroy this. In order to do this I need to make sure that when the end users save the document that it is saved as a macro enabled workbook - xlsm. I can find code where if Save As is used, I can make it save as the file type I want, but I'm not sure how do it with the Save command.

Thanks for all you help.

If you really have a template workbook it shouldn't be 'destroyed' when new workbooks are created from it any new workbooks created should be macro enabled.

How exactly is the template being used?

Ok I wasn't being clear. The end user cannot destroy the template itself. What I'm concerned with is that if they don't save it as a macro enabled workbook, the functions of the macros will not be available as they are intended to.

The template itself is a quote form. This becomes the master document for the job. If the job is accepted by the customer, there is a macro to create an invoice. Other macros exist so all the information is there as needed and to easily change the format before sending the quote to the customer. I need the initial save from a template to a workbook to be done correctly.
