unwanted copy

K

Kstalker

I am trying to finalise my archive procedure and am facing two problems
that I would greatly appreciate a hand with.

Currently the procedure creates an archive of a master file and and
gives the user an option to not proceed if a file with the same name
already exists (msg box). However if the do not proceed option is taken
(NO) then I am left with the copied and unnamed file open.

How can I get rid of this unwanted copy and navigate back to a
specified sheet.

Thanks in advance for any input.

location

Sub CreateArchive()

Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim sStr As String
Dim Res As Long
Dim ws1 As Worksheet

sStr = Format(Date, "yymmdd") & " " & "Stage Clearer"

This code closes the activeworkbook without saving it (In Excel 2000)

ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close

build an if statement to turn it loose...

Thanks Steve / Norman

Was not completely clear.

I need to discard the worksheet that was decided not to copied. Keep
the workbook that it is being archived from open and navigate back to a
sheet within it when overwrite existing file is declined.

Any ideas?

Did my suggestion not do exactly this?

The point of my suggestion is that the worksheet is not created if not
needed and, hence, no deletion is required.

Incidentally, it is not a worksheet, but a single-sheet workbook.

Hi Norman.

On the initial archive request when there is no pre-existing file with
same name and yes is selected to create archive workbook it actually
creates an entire copy of the 'Single Sheet' workbook as opposed to a
specific worksheet within the book. It becomes the open workbook and
closes "Single Sheet".

What do you think? I am at a loss.

Hi Kristan,

Before responding to your comments, please confirm *which* worksheet in the
SingleSheet.XLS workbook you want to archive. It is only one?

archived clear the used content of it and the stage clearance sheets.

Hi Kristan,

Try:

Sub CreateArchive()

Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim ws3 As Worksheet
Dim ws4 As Worksheet
Dim sStr As String
Dim Res As Long


Application.ScreenUpdating = False

On Error GoTo XIT

Set Wb = Workbooks("Single Sheet.xls") 'relabeled

With Wb
Set ws = .Worksheets("Master")
Set ws1 = .Worksheets("stageclearer 1")
Set ws2 = .Worksheets("stageclearer 2")
Set ws3 = .Worksheets("stageclearer 3")
Set ws4 = .Worksheets("stageclearer 4")
End With

sStr = Format(Date, "yymmdd") & " " & "Stage Clearer"

ws1.UsedRange.Offset(1).Clear
ws2.UsedRange.Offset(1).Clear
ws3.UsedRange.Offset(1).Clear
ws4.UsedRange.Offset(1).Clear
ws.UsedRange.Offset(1).Clear

If file_exist("C:\" & sStr & ".xls") Then

Res = MsgBox("This file already Exists. " _
& " Do you want to overwrite it?", _
vbYesNo + vbCritical, "OVERWRITE FILE ")
If Res = vbYes Then

ws.Copy

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\" & sStr
ActiveWorkbook.Close

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End If

Else
ws.Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\" & sStr
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End If

Wb.Activate
Wb.Worksheets("Navigation").Select

XIT:
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.DisplayAlerts = True
End With

End Sub

Norman.

Just when I thought I was on the home stretch.

I am now getting a Compile Error; Sub or Function not defined.
Highlighting the

If file_exist("G:) part of the sub.

I have shifted the clear content from youir original post but this
should not be causing a problem. If you have a chance could you point
out what I have done.

Thanks again..

Kristan

Hi Kristan,

Have you omitted to include the File_exist function? Or have you, perhaps
inadvertently, changed the name of the function?

Cheers Norman.

I had ommitted the the file_extension function.... tisk tisk tisk

Now my project is complete and running like a well oiled machine.

Thanks again for the input.
