Hello

Hope someone can help me with the below please. I am new to this forum so I apologize in advance if I am unclear.

I have a work book in .xlsx format that I wish to save as to another file in .txt format.
I need to do this without prompts every half an hour, overwriting .txt file each time.

The originating (xlsx) file is always left open so does not need to be closed after processing each 30 mintues.

any help appreciated

Thanks Chris
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\myName\Documents\Book1.txt", FileFormat:=xlText
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Thankyou that worked perfectly. May I ask you to assist once more?
Once the new .txt file is created it is then opened on-screen. How can I have the save as occur but not open the newly created file?

Thanks advance for your help.
