Beforesave - Save copy on my desktop

[J.W. Aldridge]

Hi.

I have this code that i was running "beforeclose", however I adjusted
it to try to make it a "beforesave" code however, it doesnt work. No
error messages, but when i check my desktop, its not there.


Any advice?


Sub ThisWorkbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, ByRef Cancel As
Boolean)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") &
"\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Are you sure you want SaveAs rather than SaveCopyAs? Also, you should
disable events before doing the save -- otherwise you'll loop.

Sub ThisWorkbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, _
ByRef Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FName As String
On Error GoTo EXIT_SUB:
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
FName = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") & _
"\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=FName
EXIT_SUB:
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Yes, I believe Save a copy as is what I am trying to do.
Would that change the code recommended?

It shouldn't make a difference in the code whether you use SaveAs or
SaveCopyAs.
