How do you know where is location???
this is not location where they want to save a file.
xlFile="C:\Folder\myexcel.

Rey,
When dialog box for save is open user navigate to existing file then he decided to use existing file name not to gave new name he is prompted with do you want to over wright existing file. This is happening and you would think that everything is ok.
However when you go and check saved file it did not over write it and file has old data in.
