Surpressing messages VBA
Hi,
I have a load of embedded charts in a PPT presentation
My code opens the embedded chart and pastes in some new data, then closes the embedded chart.
I have 100's of these charts. I am now receiving the message "Do you want to save changes to Chart 2"
We need to nort save and surpress the message.
I have tried application.displayalerts false to no avail
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks
Seamus

Calculate

Try adding ActiveWorkbook.Save after or instead of line 20.

Hey Martin, thanks but that has been tried - you can see 'gWorkBook.Save commented out
Sorry, I missed that but do me a favor and try my line anyhow. BTW, as an aside, naming things gWhatever normally indicates that the variable has global scope and when it's defined in a sub, as you probably know, its scope is limited to that sub.
Do you know which application is generating the message?

I believe it is excel
Do you have a surpression line for PowerPoint?

Hi,
That didnt work
We have an internal classification where when we save a new excel doc, it asks us whether it is an "Internal" or "External" doc
Would this be affecting the surpression code?
