SYMPTOMS
In the versions of Microsoft Excel listed above, if you create a Visual
Basic, Applications Edition macro, and you apply the SaveAs method to the
workbook in which the code is currently running, you may lose the values
for the public and module-level variables.
CAUSE
If the workbook is saved with a name that is different from the workbook's
present name, the variables are reinitialized (they will not represent
values).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Microsoft Excel versions
listed above. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
and Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
