How to use VBA SaveAs without closing calling workbook?

Question

I want to:

• Do data manipulation using a Template workbook
• Save a copy of this work book as .xlsx (SaveCopyAs doesn\'t let you change filetypes, otherw

Answer 1

Another option (only tested on latest versions of excel).

The Macros are not deleted until the workbook is closed after a SaveAs .xlsx so you can do two SaveAs in quick succession without closing the workbook.

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False, ConflictResolution:=xlLocalSessionChanges
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Note: you need to turn off the DisplayAlerts to avoid getting the warning that the workbook already exists on the second save.
