SUMMARY
The SAVE.AS? macro function does not change the file format shown in the Save As dialog box and does not automatically save a document in Microsoft Excel version 2.x format when it is given document type number 16. However, the SAVE.AS function will save the worksheet in Excel 2.x format when it is given a document type number of 16.

In an Excel 3.0 macro, to make certain that a document is saved in Excel 2.x format and bring up the Save As dialog box in order to make other changes, follow the SAVE.AS? command (which brings up the dialog box) with a SAVE.AS(,16) command (which converts the document to Excel 2.x format after the appropriate options are chosen in the dialog box).
