    Question Macro with "save as" --- Need excel to overwrite a file without a prompt to overwrite

    I have recorded a macro to do a “save as” and write over the previous files. After each “save as” excel prompts me to answer “yes” or “no” to overwrite the previous file. I don’t want to keep hitting yes every time so my question is, is there a way to make excel automatically overwrite the files without giving me the prompt?

    Here is part of the macro (file name and path altered for security)

    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
    "G:\FOLDER\SUBFOLDER1\SUBFOLDER2\SUBFOLDER3\Excel file Name.xls", _
    FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
    ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
    ActiveWindow.Close

    Thanks!

    This seems to have solved my issue. I will have to do some more testing on it next week. It's time to go home for the day. Have a nice weekend and thank you!

    Got back into work today and updated my macros with this. It did exactly as I needed it to. Thanks!
