    Open Excel and SavingAs

    Hi everyone, another question I'm sure has an easy answer, but I just can't figure it out. I"m opening an excel file from Access, and I want it to pop up with the Save As. This is so the master template file doesn't get saved with a bunch of information in it. Is there another command I'm unaware of that I should be using instead? I'm using;




    Code:
     oXL.getsaveasfilename

    perhaps open your template file readonly - then user will be forced to save as something else. e.g.

    Workbooks.Open Filename:=filepath,ReadOnly:=True

    The problem with that is that I have it filling in a bunch of cells with the information stored in a particular record.

    readonly does not mean you can't make changes. It means you can't save the file with the same name.
