Hi -
I'm using Excel 2004 on a Mac. Whenever you save a text file (tab delimited) in Excel it always prompts to ask "Do you want to save changes you made to document.txt?" Even if you have just saved the file, when you go to close the file, it will still prompt to ask if you want to save.
Basically I have a macro that copies some data, opens a new workbook, pastes the data to the new worksheet, saves it as text, then closes then repeats this over and over. But it always prompts to save changes and I just have to click Don't Save over and over.
Here is the end of the macro where it saves and closes the file.
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"Macintosh HD:Users:User1:Desktop:Samples:"Sample.txt", FileFormat:= _xlText, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWindow.Close
If anyone knows how to disable the prompt that automatically asks if I want to save changes for text files, I would be really grateful. Obviously I would still want it to ask, if there are changes since my last save, but if not I would like it to just close even for text files.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!!
