Auto save as VBA code causes Debugger prompt if I don't want to replace file

[Stryfe]

Mumps1 was kind enough to help me with a code from another thread that worked great for what I needed but an unforeseen issue popped up that may can be fixed with another line or code or I may have to simply train operators on the debugger. Here is the code he did for me:

What this does is when an employee closes out this sheet it will make a copy in C:\Test folder named Release xxxxx (the xxxxx comes from a range of cells within the sheet). The code works perfectly for me and the reason for the code was for employees who are not comfortable with computers. However if I go to look at a file for whatever reason, upon closing it will say that file already exists and would I like to replace the current copy. That is great because it prevents people from forgetting to change the series number or things like that but they are times when I would open a file and not make changes or have to open a file and plug in some "what if" numbers and then close it not saving any changes and if I select that I do not want to replace the current version it then goes into debug mode.

So...long story short, can a line of code be added to this that does not send it into debugg mode if I chose not to replace my current copy? Hopefully I wasn't too confusing.

Hi Stryfe- this seems to work:

This allows the file to go ahead and overwrite the existing file without the alert message appearing. You could also use an If ... Then statement to check if the file already exists and skip the SaveAs statement if True.

OP states the problem occurs when s/he doesn't want to save. The Save alert isn't the issue.

PS- OOPS! Sorry Alan, didn't see it.

My apologies alansidman. I believe the issue is corrected and will not be repeated in the future.

Thank you all, I believe leelnich's method works for what we need but I also got some great options for the future as well so thank you very much.
