I’m not a Mac expert, so I don’t know what else might be causing the problem.
#DEVELOPER TAB EXCEL MAC 2019 FOR MAC#
One of the affected people is running Catalina (10.15.3) and Excel for Mac 2019 (v16.35 - the latest update as of today’s date). Would anyone here happen to have any ideas? I thought about it being a permissions issue with writing to the above folder, but I had one of the affected people check the permissions of it, and they said it is set to ‘Read & Write’ - so that doesn’t appear to be culprit. But a few people are reporting the error, and I don’t understand what might be causing it. Also, many other people are using the workbook with no problems. On all the Mac’s I have tested my workbook on, it works fine.
#DEVELOPER TAB EXCEL MAC 2019 CODE#
(My code creates a new folder inside the Data folder, and then saves an Excel file into that new folder.) The Developer tab is a useful addition to the Excel ribbon that allows you to access some of advanced features such as: Macros - Write new macros using the Visual Basic editor and run macros you have previously written or recorded. But my code is written to save the file in a particular folder that should always be accessible by Excel, regardless of the sandbox limitation: I know that starting with Excel for Mac 2016, Excel is “sandboxed”, meaning you cannot save files wherever you want via VBA code.

It only seems to happen on Excel for Mac 20. It does not appear that this error occurs on Excel for Mac 2011. Run-time error ‘1004’: Method ‘SaveAs’ of object ‘_Workbook’ failed. For a few people, when this moment occurres, the VBA code in the workbook generates an error. One of the things the workbook does is save a separate Excel file on the user’s computer in a very specific folder, the first time the file is opened on that computer.

Thus, I am struggling to figure out what’s causing it. However, a few people on Mac are reporting an issue that I cannot reproduce on any of the Mac’s I have access to. I released the first version of the file publicly back in November, and for most people, it is working fine. I’ve created a Macro-Enabled Excel workbook for using on Excel for Mac & Windows. This is my first time posting on this forum, and I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this.
