Since some people got me wrong: this is not about saving. The problem is another one 😉
I am working with excel 2007 and have a problem.
In my macro I have to assure that one option is set correctly.
the option is as follows:
office Symbol -> excel-options -> save
and then the first dropdown menu/combobox is regularly set to “.xls” but it has to be
“.xlsx”
Is there any VBA command that solves this prob? A workaround could be that I write a batch file to change the regedit but I don’t want to use external code.

Ok the problem is. That I am copying several sheets from another excel file and do lots of operations. The original excel file’s format is .xlsm and if i open a new workbook it is opened as .xls (due to this config) but it is not allowed to copy sheets from .xlsm or .xlsx to .xls because the possible range of columns and rows of .xls is much smaller.
And I cannot tell excel that I want it to be .xlsx
Wow I used the macro recorder and it worked. Thought it only works for excel settings that are non-global. The solution to my own question is.
to set save format to .xlsx
