Vba Auto Increment File Name Converter
Feb 24, 2014 When creating macros in Excel (or another Office application), you often want to have the macro save the file of results as part of the macro. There are two main issues with saving files: where to save it (which isn't a problem with a macro because you can always write code to make sure the file gets saved in the right place), but more importantly, what to call it. If we start recording, perform the Save As action, and then stop recording, we'll have some code that looks like this: The first line, ChDir 'C: Temp', changes the current folder that the Open/Save As menus start in when you open those menus. The second line, which is the actual Save As command, records the whole file path anyway. So, we could actually delete the first line of code, and as you can see, getting the right place isn't a problem. The problem occurs when we run the macro: Since the file already exists, the macro has to pause to ask the user whether or not they want to overwrite it. There are two problems with this. Problem #1: I really don’t want the user to have to interact with the macro as it slows the whole process down. Even worse, if the user clicks on 'Cancel' then the macro stops halfway through with an error message.

A workaround would be to use a VBA command that suppresses error messages such as: • Application.DisplayAlerts = False • Or more specifically: Application.AlertBeforeOverwriting = False We could put that at the top of the macro and then add either of the following at the bottom of the macro. • Application.

However, this doesn't solve the second problem. What is the second problem I hear you ask? Problem #2: Do we really want a macro that overwrites (destroys) a file automatically? That sounds (and is) dangerous!
