Sorry I found the mistake.

I had not put a : before the = sign!


Its unusual to require that..I have used just = in many other situations and it works just
fine.

Best

The macro is as follows now and it STILL saves the spreadsheet! Any suggestions?

Msgbox ("You have elected not to install the new version of the spreadsheet. If you change
your mind you may reopen this sheet and restart the installation process later.")
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges = False
'

End Sub

Hi John,

ActiveWorkbook.Close Save = False

I had anticipated that this wold result in the spreadsheet being closed but NOT being
saved. However, it appears that its being saved as its being closed.

Can someone suggest a reason, and more important, a way to prevent it being saved!


The proper syntax is:

ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:= False
