VBA Copy Method keeps failing? - vba

Question

I could have sworn that this was working before - but for some reason, this doesn't appear to be working anymore. I'm trying to take the active worksheet (also, this may not be very pretty or clean, but I am still really new to VBA), copy it to a new worksheet, in the new worksheet I want to open the Excel save as dialog, and when the worksheet is saved (in CSV) format, I want the workbook to close (or even if it doesn't close) at least return the user to the original workbook and end the sub
Sub saveExportAs()
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Sheets("load").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Activate
Sheets("load").Copy
Dim varResult As Variant
Dim ActBook As Workbook
'display the save as dialog
varResult = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:="\\network\folder\upload_" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".csv", FileFilter:= _
"Comma Delimited / Upload Files (*.csv),*.csv", Title:="Save Upload File")
'check to make sure the user didn't cancel
If varResult <> False Then
ActiveWorkbook.saveAs Filename:=varResult, _
FileFormat:=xlCSV
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

Answer 1

you can use the sheets defined as workbook/worksheet to avoid issues... may be like this :
Sub saveExportAs()
Dim wb1, wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim varResult As Variant
Set wb1 = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("load")
ws.Copy
Set wb2 = ActiveWorkbook
varResult = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:="\\network\folder\upload_" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".csv", FileFilter:= _
"Comma Delimited / Upload Files (*.csv),*.csv", Title:="Save Upload File")
If varResult <> False Then
wb2.SaveAs Filename:=varResult, FileFormat:=xlCSV
wb2.Close Savechanges:=True
Exit Sub
End If
wb1.Activate
End Sub

Answer 2

Try this...
Sub exportAsCSV()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
SaveCopyAsCSV ("Sheet1") ' replace Sheet1 with whatever sheet name you need
wb.Activate
End Sub
Private Function SaveCopyAsCSV(SourceSheet As String)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(SourceSheet).copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fileName:=SourceSheet, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=True
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Function
