Macros - Saving over protected worksheet using a macro.

[Dolores]

I need to create a macro to save an excel file in a separate directory.
However I am not that familiar with creating macros (i'm much better at
making changes to an existing macro).

The problem that I am running into is that the file that is saved in the
other directory is a protected excel spreadsheet, so when I run my macro it
gives me an error.

Please post your code and specify where the error is, it helps to diagnos the
problem. Otherwise we are just guessing what you need.

Actually,
I used the macro record tool that comes with excel, I am better an modifying
macros than I am at creating them. So the only part of the code that was
written was the save as (see below).
Sub saveas()
'
' saveas Macro
' Macro recorded 9/30/2008 by dgomez
'
ChDir "F:\Illinois-Indy Sales"
ActiveWorkbook.saveas Filename:="F:\Illinois-Indy Sales\Bid
Register.xls", _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

when I run the macro I get the following error "Cannot access read-only
document "Bid Register.xls"
