Prevent overwriting a file

[Patrick C. Simonds]

The code below is triggered by a command1 button on on UserForm1. It saves
the document with a name derived by combining data in certain cells. My
problem is if that document name already exists. I do not want the user to
have the option of replacing the original file or renaming the current
file. I want a MsgBox which tells them that the file already exists. Once
the MsgBox is dismissed I want UserForm1 to reappear so they can select a
new date.


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myDate As Range
Set myRange = Worksheets("Relief Board").Range("C3")
Set myDate = Worksheets("Relief Board").Range("C4")

Protection.unprotect_all_sheets

myRange.Value = ""
myDate.Value = Calendar1.Value

Protection.protect_all_sheets

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="P:\AA Exception\ " & Worksheets("Relief
Board").[B3].Value & ", " & Worksheets("Relief Board").[D3].Value &
"_Exception Sheet", _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, Password:="",
WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False

Unload StartNewDay

End Sub

Hello Patrick

You can use the Dir statement to test if a file exists. You can eve
use wild card characters to match similar names.

Code
-------------------

FileName = Dir("P:\AA Exception\MyFile.xls"

'If the file doesn't exist, FileName will be an empty string ""
If FileName <> "" The
MsgBox "File Exists. Please Use a Different Name.
UserForm1.Sho
End I

I have to admit, I do not even know where to begin to integrate this into my
current code.

Thank you

I get a Subscript out of range error with the code below highlighted. I
thought the problem might be that the type of file was not indicated (in
this case xlsm) so I tried adding before the last quote mark but I still got
the same error.


FileName = "P:\AA Exception\ " _
& Worksheets("ReliefBoard").[B3].Value _
& ", " & Worksheets("Relief Board").[D3].Value _
& "_Exception Sheet"

Hello Patrick,

The only subscripts would be cells. Everything else is a fixed string
Do the cells have the correct values? Are all the names of th
worksheets spelled correctly? If all that checks out OK, I really don'
know what the problem would be. I don't have Excel 2007 so I can't ru
it even if you posted the workbook

I am sorry to have wasted your time on that last question. I have been so
wrapped up in this project I totally missed that ReliefBoard should have
been Relief Board (two words).

Hello Patrick,

I misspell words a lot when coding. My typing skills are my weakness
Did that solve the problem
