Use Outstream , sample code :

File.CREATE('C:\YourExcelFile.xls');

File.CREATEOUTSTREAM(Outstr);

YourRec.SETFRANGE("FIeld 1",Filter1);

IF YourRef.FINDFIRST THEN BEGIN

RecordRef.SETTABLE(YourRec);

REPORT.SAVEAS(REPORT::"Your Report Name",'',REPORTFORMAT::Excel,OutStr,RecordRef)

END;

Ideally this Message will only come when you already have a file at that location with the same name so technically this is a correct message, if want to get rid of this message then you need to first check if that file already exist there and if yes then you need to move or delete that file.

Hello,

Try to use Save() instead of SaveAs().

Or set DisplayAlerts to False before saving the file:

ExcelApplicationClass.DisplayAlerts := FALSE; ExcelWorkbook.SaveAs(); ExcelApplicationClass.DisplayAlerts := TRUE;
