auto archiving functions

hi all
just wanted to aks if there is any kinda of auto- fucntion that can archive a worksheet separatly wihout needing to save the acctual file.
like i have "book1" and i add an entry then print the sheet but i dont want to save it cuz its a template-like but i want to have a record of it some where else with same date.
like "book1 05-10-2005", "book1 06-10-2005" and so on to be saved in given path(folder).

i know i can do this by "save-as" but then i must always give the file name over and over and i must choose where to save everytime.

Hi Torpido.

As far as I know there is not a function to do this. So you have to add
a macro to your document.

It could be something like this:
'------Start
Option Explicit

Sub SaveCopyOfSheet()
Dim strSaveAs As String
Dim strInitial As String
Dim strFilter As String

ActiveSheet.Copy
strInitial =3D "Book1_" & Format(Date, "yyyy_mm_dd") & ".xls"
strFilter =3D "Excel (*.xls), *.xls"
strSaveAs =3D
Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFilename:=3DstrInitial,
Filefilter:=3DstrFilter)
If strSaveAs <> False Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=3D _
strSaveAs, FileFormat:=3DxlNormal, Password:=3D"",
WriteResPassword:=3D"", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=3DFalse, CreateBackup:=3DFalse
ActiveWindow.Close
End If
If MsgBox("Close this document", vbQuestion + vbYesNo) =3D vbYes Then
ThisWorkbook.Saved =3D True
ThisWorkbook.Close
End If
End Sub
'------------ END

Hi Torpido,

There was a small typo in my code, sorry for that.

About how to use:
I suggest you copy it into the document from where you want to extract
single worksheets.
You either use [Alt]+[F8] to select this macro from the list and click
Run...
or you assign a hot-key to this macro.
Hit [Alt]+[F8], Select the name of this macro, click Options and Select
a key to use combined with [Ctrl] to start this macro.


Sub SaveCopyOfSheet()
Dim strSaveAs As String
Dim strInitial As String
Dim strFilter As String


ActiveSheet.Copy
strInitial = "Book1_" & Format(Date, "yyyy_mm_dd") & ".xls"
strFilter = "Excel (*.xls), *.xls"
strSaveAs = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
InitialFileName:=strInitial, _
Filefilter:=strFilter)
If strSaveAs <> "False" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs _
Filename:=strSaveAs, _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, _
Password:="", _
WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWindow.Close
End If
If MsgBox("Close this document, without saving", _
vbQuestion + vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
ThisWorkbook.Close
End If
End Sub


I hoop that this will make you happy,

Wouter
