Hi
I opened a new workbook and wrote the code below in a module and tried to run it but got run time error telling me I need to change the extension? any help would be appreciated thank you.
Code:
Sub wk_save()
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Workbooks(1).SaveAs Filename:="hello.xlsm"
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Just adding this finding. I went to excel and saveAs the file to book1.xlsm
and then went back to VBA and ran the code above and this time did not give me an error message and the file name changed to hello.xlsm.
Why is that? Thank you.
