Currently I am running VBA code that is saving the Active Workbook, however, in 2007, Microsoft put a Compatibility Checker in place. In normal mode, you can click on the check box to unselect "Check compatibility when saving this workbook", however, when looping through over 500 Excel files, my finger gets very tired to continue without checking compatibility. Is there code that will automatically by pass or save without check the compatibility? Thanks.

Hi Alix

Thank you for your question.

The following line of code can be placed before the save command and should disable the compayibility checker

BookVar.CheckCompatibility = False

Where bookvar is the name of the workbook.

Hopefull this will solve the problem for you. If problems persist, please do not hesitate to get back to me.

Regards

Stephen
