Parameters

Filename
Object

The name of the file to be saved. You can include a full path; if you do not, Microsoft Office Excel saves the file in the current folder.

FileFormat
Object

One of the XlFileFormat values that specifies the file format to use when you save the file. For an existing file, the default format is the last file format specified; for a new file, the default is the format of the version of Excel being used.

Password
Object

A case-sensitive string (no more than 15 characters) that indicates the protection password to be given to the file.

WriteResPassword
Object

The write-reservation password for this file. If a file is saved with the password and the password is not supplied when the file is opened, the file is opened as read-only.

ReadOnlyRecommended
Object

true to display a message when the file is opened, recommending that the file be opened as read-only.

CreateBackup
Object

true to create a backup file.

AccessMode
XlSaveAsAccessMode

One of the XlSaveAsAccessMode values.

ConflictResolution
Object

One of the XlSaveConflictResolution values.

AddToMru
Object

true to add this workbook to the list of recently used files. The default value is false.

TextCodepage
Object

Ignored for all languages in Microsoft Excel. Note   When Excel saves a workbook to one of the CSV or text formats, which are specified by using the FileFormat parameter, it uses the code page that corresponds to the language for the system locale in use on the current computer.

TextVisualLayout
Object

Ignored for all languages in Microsoft Excel. Note   When Excel saves a workbook to one of the CSV or text formats, which are specified by using the FileFormat parameter, it saves these formats in logical layout. If left-to-right text is embedded within right-to-left text in the file, or vice versa, logical layout saves the contents of the file in the correct reading order for all languages in the file without regard to direction. When an application is used to open the file, the characters in each run of characters are rendered in the correct direction according to the character value ranges within the code page. (Unless the file is opened in an application, such as a debugger or editor, that is designed to display the exact memory layout of the file.)

Local
Object

true saves files against the language of Excel (including control panel settings). false (default) saves files against the language of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

Remarks

Visual Studio does not support saving a workbook as a shared workbook.
