Hi
When I run the code below for the first time, I get no error message and file name would change to testing123.xlsx but when I run it for the second time, I get error message saying the file already existed. How can I change that or can I? Thank you very much.

Code:
Sub savewb()
  Workbooks(2).SaveAs Filename:="testing123.xlsx"
End Sub

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Hi lezawang,

If you want to save over an existing file no questions asked (I think that's what you're asking), try this:

Code:
Sub savewb()
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        Workbooks(2).SaveAs Filename:="testing123.xlsx"
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Regards,

Robert
