Saving a new version of spreadsheet to a folder using VBA

I have a spreadsheet with c20 sheets in it and a lot of VB code.

I want to have a macro that will save a copy of the spreadsheet (with name = value in cell B3 of sheet 1) in the folder:
G:\Indv\EQA\Rec. I'd also like to have the new version saved without the VB code in it, and as an xlsx.

Once the macro is run i want to close the new version of the spreadsheet (saved as above) and continue working in the original version. (e.g. if i were to run the macro then make some changes to the spreadsheet and click save, it would save the changes to the original version).

Hope that makes sense.

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Sounds simple enough...

Code:
On Error Resume Next
SuccessSave = ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= "G:\Indv\EQA\Rec"&Sheets("Sheet1").range("B3").Value&".xlsx" FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal ConflictResolution:=xlUserResolution AddToMru:=True
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    On Error Goto 0
    Msgbox("Unable to save workbook")
Else
    On Error Goto 0
End If

The Conflict resolution parameter - if the file already exists, it will ask you if you want to overwrite. You can force it to overwrite with =xlLocalSessionChanges
AddtoMRU - will add to recently Used files list.

Thanks Johnny, i came across a similar solution elsewhere but without the conflict resolution, which i like and will add in to my code.
