    Works in XP but not Win 7: Run-time error 1004: Method 'SaveAs' of object_Workbook failed

    On Windows 7 desktop, getting a Run-time error 1004: Method 'SaveAs' of object_Workbook failed on an Excel macro that worked in XP. The highlighted code where it halts is:

    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=_
    "G:\Fixed Income\Credit Daily Reports\Short Duration\" & rptdate & "_ShortDurationSector.xlsx",_
    File Format:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommend:=_
    False, CreateBackup:=False

    Any ideas why this would not work in Windows 7?

    Are the office versions different? Try replacing xlOpenXMLWorkbook with the number 51 does that help at all?

    "G" is a big letter for a HardDisk, was there a mapped lan connection (server) when working on XP ?

    Yes, it was working in XP using the G: drive reference. Do you think that we should use the \\servername\folder format?

    Yes, or recreate the reference.

    So you suggest this instead?

    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=_
    "\\servername\folder\Fixed Income\Credit Daily Reports\Short Duration\" & rptdate & "_ShortDurationSector.xlsx",_
    File Format:=51, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommend:=_
    False, CreateBackup:=False

    FileFormat is one word in VBA, your code has a space... also, usually a space before the _ character? Try this:
