How to keep links to other open files when saving them by VBA?












0















I'm trying to open few files with connection between them and save them with a different names, so the links will update to there new names.
My code open the files and save them in there new names but don't change the links to the new names.



Sub PullFromFile()

Dim wkb As Workbook, wkbFrom As Workbook, wbkto As Workbook
Dim openfile As String
Dim openPatch As String
Dim savefile As String
Dim savePatch As String
Dim openWin As String
Dim closeWin As String
Dim tbl As ListObject
Dim x As Long
Dim y As Long
Dim z As Long

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Set wkb = ThisWorkbook
Set tbl = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("RoeeTbl")

For x = 1 To tbl.Range.Rows.Count - 1

' Get path from cell A1 on Report tab
openPatch = tbl.DataBodyRange(x, 1)
openfile = tbl.DataBodyRange(x, 2)



' Make sure there is a backslash at the end of the from path
If Right(openPatch, 1) <> "" Then openPatch = openPatch & ""

Set wkbFrom = Workbooks.Open(openPatch & openfile)


'set "newwkb" & x = ThisWorkbook

wkb.Activate

Next x


MsgBox ("Files Opened. Press next button to save the files in new names")


End Sub

Sub SaveTheFiles()

Dim wkb As Workbook, wkbFrom As Workbook, wbkto As Workbook
Dim openfile As String
Dim openPatch As String
Dim savefile As String
Dim savePatch As String
Dim openWin As String
Dim closeWin As String
Dim tbl As ListObject
Dim x As Long
Dim y As Long
Dim z As Long

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Set wkb = ThisWorkbook
Set tbl = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("RoeeTbl")


For y = 1 To tbl.Range.Rows.Count - 1
openWin = tbl.DataBodyRange(y, 2)
Windows(openWin).Activate

' Get path from cell A1 on Report tab
savePatch = tbl.DataBodyRange(y, 3)
savefile = tbl.DataBodyRange(y, 4)



' Make sure there is a backslash at the end of the from path
If Right(savePatch, 1) <> "" Then savePatch = savePatch & ""

'save as

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=(savePatch & savefile), FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False

Next y
wkb.Activate


End Sub


I want the links to be changed to the new files names.
