macro loop to save .xml extension to .xls.

[datadc]

Hello, I have the macro below to loop through files in a directory. I am trying to update it to save each file in the directory from .xml to .xls. however I hit a run time 1004 error "Method 'SaveAs' of object '_workbook' failed. I am on 2013.

Sub savexmltoexcel()




Dim wb As Workbook
Dim myPath As String
Dim myFile As String
Dim myExtension As String
Dim FldrPicker As FileDialog


  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  Application.EnableEvents = False
  Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual


  Set FldrPicker = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)


    With FldrPicker
      .Title = "Select A Target Folder"
      .AllowMultiSelect = False
        If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo NextCode
        myPath = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
    End With


NextCode:
  myPath = myPath
  If myPath = "" Then GoTo ResetSettings


  myExtension = "*.xml"


  myFile = Dir(myPath & myExtension)


  Do While myFile <> ""
    'Set variable equal to opened workbook
      Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=myPath & myFile)
      myNewExtension = "*.xls"
      myNewFile = Dir(myPath & myNewExtension)
      wb.SaveAs Filename:=myPath & myNewFile
      
      wb.Close SaveChanges:=True


      myFile = Dir
  Loop


ResetSettings:
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub

You need to add the fileformat.

When I get stuck, I find it usually helps if I record a small macro with the record and see what Excel gives me. Usually it's enough to point me in the right (or at least better) direction

Sub Macro1()
    ChDir "C:\Users\Daddy\Desktop"
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\Daddy\Desktop\Book1.xlsx", _
        FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
