You can either set

application.displayalerts to false

or there is the specific setting of

ActiveWorkbook.saved = true which, if set without having actually saved
the file, causes Excel to quit without prompting...

Hope these help

How do I close a file without saving the changes? I am using
ActiveWorkbook.close - is there a parameter I can add onto the end of this
statement?
