So I am working with a XLTM file, and I want the user to make sure they save as XLSM. When they click "Save," this works fine, but I find when they click "Save As," the file is saved as "*.xlsm.xlsm". I am a little lost with how to make sure that the user saves as XLSM, while keeping the file name as "filename.xlsm" and not "filename.xlsm.xlsm".
'Action makes sure the user saves as XLSM file type.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FileNameVal As String
If SaveAsUI Then
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
Cancel = True
If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
Exit Sub
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=ThisWorkbook.FileFormat
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
I thought the problem may have been writing ".xlsm" in:
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=ThisWorkbook.FileFormat
However, without ".xlsm" written there, I find the file instead saves as a bad file suffix. (E.g., if my XLTM file is called Template(File001).xltm, and the user opens a new template file, it will save as Template(File001)1 (believing that "1)1" is the file type).
It may be the structure of my code, so I need direction in how to revise it.
The problem appeared to have existed because the template would name the file "Template(1)1" prior to it actually being saved initially. This changes the way that Excel saves the file, so the easiest way to contrast between this initial save and further saves (that already contain a file extension) was to use an if-then statement to judge whether an extension exists already.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FileNameVal As String
If SaveAsUI Then
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
Cancel = True
If FileNameVal = CStr(False) Then 'User pressed cancel
Exit Sub
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Right(ThisWorkbook.Name, 5) <> ".xlsm" Then
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Else
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
