Excel VBA Saveas function corrupting file - excel

Question

When I try to save my file with the ActiveWorkbook.Save function. The file get's corrupted and i cannot use it anymore.
I already tried the ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs function, but the result is the same. Below the example. I have added the 2 other functions used on the bottom.
Sub Publish_WB()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range
Dim CurrentPath, OriginalFname, NewFname, FName As String
If CheckPublished() Then
MsgBox ("Published version, feature not available ...")
Exit Sub
End If
NoUpdate
PublishInProgress = True
'Save the Current Workbook
OriginalFname = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
'Store the current path
CurrentPath = CurDir
'Change the path to the same of the current sheet
SetCurrentDirectory ActiveWorkbook.Path
NewFname = Replace(ThisWorkbook.Name, ".xlsm", "_published.xlsm")
FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(FileFilter:="Excel files (*.xlsm),*.xlsm", InitialFileName:=NewFname, Title:="Save Published Version as")
If FName <> "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FName, 52
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs (OriginalFname)
Else
'user has cancelled
GoTo einde
End If
function CheckPublished()
Function CheckPublished() As Boolean
If Range("Quoting_Tool_Published").Value = True Then
CheckPublished = True
Else
CheckPublished = False
End If
End Function
and the NoUpdate :
Sub NoUpdate()
If NoUpdateNested = 0 Then
CurrentCalculationMode = Application.Calculation 'store previous mode
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Application.Cursor = xlWait
NoUpdateNested = NoUpdateNested + 1
' Debug.Print "NoUpdate, Noupdatenested = " & NoUpdateNested
End Sub
if we jump to einde, I call the following function :
Sub UpdateAgain()
NoUpdateNested = NoUpdateNested - 1
If NoUpdateNested < 1 Then
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic 'let all sheets be calculated again first
Application.Calculation = CurrentCalculationMode 'set to previous mode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.Cursor = xlDefault
Else
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic 'recalculate sheets, but keep the rest from updating
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End If
'Debug.Print "UpdateAgain, Noupdatenested = " & NoUpdateNested
End Sub

By using a name for the workbook than rather activeworkbook I was able to solve the problem; the rest of the code is the same, so the rest was not causing any issues.
Sub Publish_WB()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wb as Workbook
Dim cell As Range
Dim CurrentPath, OriginalFname, NewFname, FName As String
If CheckPublished() Then
MsgBox ("Published version, feature not available ...")
Exit Sub
End If
NoUpdate
PublishInProgress = True
'Save the Current Workbook
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
wb.Save
'Store the current path
CurrentPath = CurDir
'Change the path to the same of the current sheet
SetCurrentDirectory ActiveWorkbook.Path
NewFname = Replace(ThisWorkbook.Name, ".xlsm", "_published.xlsm")
FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(FileFilter:="Excel files (*.xlsm),*.xlsm", InitialFileName:=NewFname, Title:="Save Published Version as")
If FName <> "" Then
wb.SaveAs FName, 52
Else
'user has cancelled
GoTo einde
End If
