I have some code that saves a copy of a workbook to my OneDrive folder. If I save the file, and the file starts syncing to OneDrive, and I try to save the file again (for whatever reason) while it is still showing as syncing, I get runtime error 1004 for the SaveAs method. From what I can gather from searching, this is because the file goes into kind of a read only state while syncing. I tried adding "Kill (fileName)" to the code before saving, since it is possible to delete the file while it is syncing, but even this is hit or miss. The only kludge that works is running the Kill command and then a delay of 5 seconds to make sure the file was deleted, and then the SaveAs. Is this the only way to handle it, or is there a parameter of the SaveAs method that will work even while the file is syncing?
