John, you'd better use the filesystemobject if it's just renaming, set a
reference to Scripting and voila... you are able to check each filetype if
you want to loop a dir, rename,copy etc...

OR if it's just a sheet inside Excel (haven't been paying too much attention
here) then why don't you check the imported excel version and do a saveas
before closing? My guess is that will do the trick..

OR if the sheet is always the first then why not change the linked table
tablename in the connectstring (+ refresh) based on the name of the first
sheet?:-)

Onderwerp: [AccessD] Preventing user prompts from Excel 

I am doing imports from data sent to us in Excel spreadsheets which I Link
to the db then build queries on the resulting "table".  In order to make
sure that the spreadsheet is named something consistent (so that the link
functions correctly), I am using the following function to rename a
spreadsheet in Excel.

Function XLRenameSpreadsheet(strFileName As String, strTblName As String) On
Error GoTo Err_XLRenameSpreadsheet 
    Dim xlApp As Object 
    Dim xlWs As Object 
    Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.application") 
    
    xlApp.Workbooks.Open strFileName 
    Set xlWs = xlApp.Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1) 
    xlWs.Name = strTblName 
    
Exit_XLRenameSpreadsheet: 
On Error Resume Next 
    xlApp.Workbooks(1).Close True 
    Set xlWs = Nothing 
    If Not (xlApp Is Nothing) Then xlApp.Close: Set xlApp = Nothing Exit
Function 
Err_XLRenameSpreadsheet: 
        MsgBox Err.Description, , "Error in Function
basUtils.XLRenameSpreadsheet" 
        Resume Exit_XLRenameSpreadsheet 
    Resume 0    '.FOR TROUBLESHOOTING 
End Function 

Unfortunately I get a message: 

         "XXX.XLS is a Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 workbook.  Do you want to
overwrite it with the latest Excel format" 

when I try and do the save 

    xlApp.Workbooks(1).Close True 

Since this is an automated process there is no one around to answer yes
(Excel can be so stupid sometimes). 

Is there any way to force a yes (or no, I don't really much care what the
format is!)
