    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileFormat:=xlUnicodeText locked macro cannnot run

    Hi All

    When I use below in a VBA password locked for view in Excel VBA in 2010/2007, it cannot be run and shows "1004" error Excel cannot find any data to replace....

    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="c:\test.txt", FileFormat:=xlUnicodeText, _
            CreateBackup:=False
    But if I change it to below, it will work:
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="c:\test.txt", FileFormat:=xlText, _
            CreateBackup:=False
    Sincerely ask for advice.

    THanks.

    Gary

    Advice? Use the second syntax since you know it works.

    As my text file contains Unicode characters, I need those Unicode to be saved inside the text file.

    Why it have different if I use the Lock view for the project inside macro? Any suggestion?
