If you are looking for a way to save an Excel file in a directory using automation tools, there are a few options available to you. One option is to use the Save As dialog box within Excel. Another option is to use a macro to automate the process.
The Save As dialog box is the easiest way to save an Excel file in a directory using automation tools. To access the dialog box, click the File tab, then click Save As. In the dialog box, select the location where you want to save the file, then click Save.
If you want to use a macro to automate the process of saving an Excel file in a directory, there are a few different ways to go about it. One way is to use the Workbook.SaveAs method. This method allows you to specify the directory in which to save the file, as well as the file name and file format.
Another way to save an Excel file in a directory using automation tools is to use the FileSystemObject. This object provides a number of methods and properties that allow you to work with files and folders. To use the FileSystemObject, you first need to add a reference to it in your Excel workbook. To do this, click the Tools menu, then click References. In the list of references, select the check box next to Microsoft Scripting Runtime.
Once you have added a reference to the FileSystemObject, you can use its CreateTextFile method to create a new file in the directory where you want to save your Excel file. The following code shows how to use the CreateTextFile method to save an Excel file in a directory called “C:\\My Documents\\”:
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim file As TextStream
Set file = fso.CreateTextFile(“C:\\My Documents\\MyExcelFile.xls”)
file.WriteLine “This is my Excel file.”
file.Close
You can also use the FileSystemObject to save an Excel file in a directory by using the CopyFile method. The following code shows how to use the CopyFile method to save an Excel file in a directory called “C:\\My Documents\\”:
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
fso.CopyFile “C:\\My Documents\\MyExcelFile.xls”, “C:\\My Documents\\Backup\\”
When using the FileSystemObject to save an Excel file in a directory, you can also set the attributes of the file. The following code shows how to set the attributes of an Excel file so that it is read-only and hidden:
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim file As TextStream
Set file = fso.CreateTextFile(“C:\\My Documents\\MyExcelFile.xls”)
file.Attributes = ReadOnly + Hidden
