My application generates &nbsp;a number of Excel spreadsheets.<br />
My code automates naming the spreadsheet, and saving it. Code line:<br />
<br />
.Application.Workbooks(sCu<wbr />rrentName)<wbr />.SaveAs (sSavePath &amp;&nbsp;sWorkbookName)<br />
<br />
It may happen that the destination folder already contains an older file with the same name.<br />
If this happens, the user is asked if the old file should be replaced with this one.<br />
If &quot;No&quot; is selected, the VB6 code receives an error.<br />
<br />
I've worked around this by setting a flag just prior to the above line of code, then in the ErrorHandler, jumping over the error message box.<br />
<br />
That works, but it is a cobble. It means that I really am cheating, because I don't know why the error is triggered.<br />
<br />
Is there a cleaner way to handle this?<br />
Or should I use my cobble?

Declining a &quot;Save As&quot; produces an error

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
