There are several ways to save a workbook. You can save a workbook without changing the path. If the workbook has not been saved before, you should save the workbook by specifying a path. Without an explicit path, Microsoft Office Excel saves the file in the current folder with the name it was given when it was created. You can also save a copy of the workbook without modifying the open workbook in memory.

Applies to: The information in this topic applies to document-level projects and VSTO Add-in projects for Excel. For more information, see Features available by Office application and project type.

Save a workbook without changing the path

To save a workbook associated with a document-level customization

  1. Call the Save method of the ThisWorkbook class.

    this.Save();

    Me.Save()

To save the active workbook in a VSTO Add-in

  1. Call the Save method to save the active workbook. To use the following code example, run it in the ThisAddIn class in a VSTO Add-in project for Excel.

    this.Application.ActiveWorkbook.Save();

    Me.Application.ActiveWorkbook.Save()

Save a workbook with a new path

You can save the specified workbook to a new location or with a new name, optionally specifying a file format, a password, an access mode, and more.

Note

You might want to set the DisplayAlerts property to False before saving the workbook with a new path because saving in some formats requires interaction. Setting this property to False causes Excel to use all defaults.

To save a workbook associated with a document-level customization

  1. Call the SaveAs method of the ThisWorkbook class. To use the following code example, run it in the ThisWorkbook class.

    this.SaveAs(@"C:\Book1.xml", missing,
    missing, missing, missing, missing, Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlNoChange,
    missing, missing, missing, missing, missing);

    Me.SaveAs("C:\Book1.xml")

To save the active workbook in a VSTO Add-in

  1. Call the SaveAs method to save the active workbook to a new path. To use the following code example, run it in the ThisAddIn class in a VSTO Add-in project for Excel.

    this.Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs(@"C:\Test\Book1.xml", 
    Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlNoChange);

    Me.Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs("C:\Test\Book1.xml")

Save a copy of the workbook

You can save a copy of the workbook to a file without modifying the open workbook in memory. This is useful when you want to create a backup copy without modifying the location of the workbook.

To save a workbook associated with a document-level customization

  1. Call the SaveCopyAs method of the ThisWorkbook class. To use the following code example, run it in the ThisWorkbook class.

    this.SaveCopyAs(@"C:\Book1.xlsx");

    Me.SaveCopyAs("C:\Book1.xlsx")

To save the active workbook in a VSTO Add-in

  1. Call the SaveCopyAs method to save a copy of the active workbook. To use the following code example, run it in the ThisAddIn class in a VSTO Add-in project for Excel.

    this.Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs(@"C\Book1.xlsx");

    Me.Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs("C\Book1.xlsx")

Robust programming

Interactively canceling any of the methods that save or copy the workbook raises a run-time error in your code. For example, if your procedure calls the SaveAs method but does not disable prompts from Excel, and your user clicks Cancel when prompted, Excel raises a run-time error.
