Answer 1

I've just answered this question and your question here was referenced.

To also support your questions: -

Is Application.Filedialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs) support in Mac excel 2011 vba?

No it is not, however there is a built in function in Mac VBA called MacScript, which you pass applescript through to get a value back, see my previously linked thread for more detail on this.

Difference between Application.Filedialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs) and Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs)?

Application.Filedialog gives access to four file dialog style boxes: -

• Open dialog box - lets users select one or more files that you can then open in the host application using the Execute method.
• SaveAs dialog box - lets users select a single file that you can then save the current file as using the Execute method.
• File Picker dialog box - lets users select one or more files. The file paths that the user selects are captured in the FileDialogSelectedItems collection.
• Folder Picker dialog box - lets users select a path. The path that the user selects is captured in the FileDialogSelectedItems collection.

Application.Dialogs gives access to all built in dialogs available in Excel, one of which is the 'SaveAs' dialog.
