Excel VBA and OneDrive SaveCopyAs
I am running office 365 home on windows 10 both latest versions. I have a project that requires the workbook ("Diddly.xlsm") data to be archived every 6 months to a code generated file name leaving t...
- I don't know what the current value of lcFile is when the error occurs?
If you pass just a file name (no path) to the SaveAs method, Excel assumes it needs to be saved in the active directory. Judging by the error message you showed that seems to be c:\Windows. Users are not allowed to save files there. You must provide the SaveAs method with both the path and a filename.
Thank you for your response. Due to my inadequate question it does not address my issue. I have no problem when codng for SaveCopyAs when working with files for which I have a storage address such as C:\users\owner\Onedrive\..... But when I try to code for files I am sharing from another's OneDrive source I can't get a useable location to save any edits to the shared OneDrive. The code Application.ThisWorkbook.Path returns a URL https://d.docs.live.net/61298770340f/Diddly_Share. which cannot be interpreted by subsequenr coding.
I suspect you missed the point. SaveCopyAs does not work for OneDrive folders. you have to use SaveAs instead of SaveCopyAs.
