Hello All,

I am new to this forum and have come seeking your advice.

As my title suggest I am currently trying to override my previous save file that is saved in a specific location. However, it is not always the case that I want to save it in the specified location but instead am trying to run the bulk of my macro. But when I click either No, or Cancel I am provided an error : /


The following is the save path, and file name. Please note that the file name is not exactly 'MyFile', but it is to always be saved with a similar name:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\zent\Desktop\MyFile.xlsx", _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False

When I click on "No" when the Yes, No, Cancel dialog appears I am then given run-time error '1004' : /

I have been trying to add to work with the MsgBox properties but I haven't been able to accomplish anything yet. Is there any way for me to be able to click on either No, or Cancel without being given this run time error when I run the Macro ?

Thank you in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
It would be useful if you supplied the rest of your code. Especially the part where you click yes/no/cancel.

When posting code please use code tags, the # icon in the reply window

Thank you!

This is strange I thought I replied to your post...

Anyways!

The following is the code when I am trying to save my file in a specified location#

# ChDir "C:\Users\azenteno\Desktop" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\azenteno\azent.csv", _
FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False

The problem arises when their is a file already in that location. Most of the time I am okay with replacing it, since I run an FTP batch that retrieves the file from that location and looks at that specific file name. But the issue arises when I DON'T want to replace it. I receive the following dialog box:

"A file named 'C:\Users\azenteno\azent.csv' already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it?
Yes, No, Cancel"

If the user of the macro clicks on either No or Cancel I get the following run time error:

"Microsoft Visual Basic
Run-time error '1004':
Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook' failed
Continue, End, Debug, Help"

All I want to be able to do at this point is allow the user of the macro to be able to click on either No, or Cancel without this run time error appearing : /
