    ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Copy

    With TempWB.Sheets(1).Range("A1")
        .PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
        .PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
    End With

    MyFileName = CurrentWB.Path & "\" & Left(CurrentWB.Name, InStrRev(CurrentWB.Name, ".") - 1) & ".csv"
    'Optionally, comment previous line and uncomment next one to save as the current sheet name
    'MyFileName = CurrentWB.Path & "\" & CurrentWB.ActiveSheet.Name & ".csv"


    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    TempWB.SaveAs Filename:=MyFileName, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False, Local:=True
    TempWB.Close SaveChanges:=False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
