This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To save a single worksheet in your workbook as a separate file, include the FileFormat argument that specifies a file format that saves a single worksheet with the SaveAs method. Examples of single-sheet file formats include Microsoft Excel 4.0 Worksheet, Text Files, and Lotus 1-2-3 (*.wk1).

For example, to save Sheet2 in the active workbook in the Microsoft Excel 4.0 worksheet format to a file called Test.xls in the current directory, use the following code:

   Sub SaveSingleSheet()

      Worksheets("sheet2").SaveAs filename:="test.xls", _
         FileFormat:=xlExcel4

   End Sub
				

NOTE: If the preceding code is in the same workbook as the worksheet you are saving, you must close the workbook and then open Test.xls after you run the macro. Test.xls will be a single sheet workbook.

   ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:="MyFile.xls", FileFormat:=xlExcel4
