Hi,

I am using Add-In Express to develop a plug-in for Excel & Word. The intention is to disallow "Save As" functionality if the file being edited has already been persisted or is existing on the harddisk.

I have captured (WindowActivate / WindowDeactivate / WorkbookActivate / WorkbookDeactivate / SheetActivate / SheetDeactivate / DocumentActivate / DocumentDeactivate) events.

In these events I check if the ActiveDocument or ActiveWorkbook is already existing on the harddisk. If yes then I set DisableDefaultAction of the Build in control for Save As (748) to true else I set it to false.

The problem is it works but not consistently. In some cases the Save As dialog is not displayed and sometimes it is displayed even if it should not be displayed.

What could be the issue with it ? I already have a sample ready, in case you dont want to waste time. Any gives ?

Thanks in advance,
- Nilesh Padbidri.

Hi Nilesh.

What about the DocumentBeforeSave event with the Cancel functionality? Doesn't it suit your requirements?

Not really Sergey, because I need to trap a whole lot of other menu commands like Print / Send Mail / Send As Attachment / Send To Fax Recipient etc.

So it is crucial that I need to trap the events like WindowActivate / WindowDeactivate / WorkbookActivate / WorkbookDeactivate / SheetActivate / SheetDeactivate etc and set the "DisableDefaultAction" to FALSE or TRUE in there.

Thanks,
- Nilesh Padbidri.
