Hi All

I would like to save an Excel file regardless if it exists or not!
I’ve used this; 
$xls -> ActiveWorkbook -> SaveAs( $ARGV[0] );

[download]
But, if the file exists then I get prompted to over right the file. That’s what I don't want to happen, I don't want to get prompted to save the file, I want the script to go ahead and save the file in any case.

I did try this (being a bit naive) 
$xls -> ActiveWorkbook -> Save( $ARGV[0] );

[download]
I.e. changed the "SaveAs" to "Save", but it did not work. I checked the Win32::OLE documentation but I couldn't find anything about "Save" rather than "SaveAs".

Installing The AutoSave add-in for every excel installation is not an option.

Any Perls of wisdom and perhaps an advise on where do you guys get this information from, because I have searched everywhere that I know to no avail, will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Blackadder
