I am loosely using the workbooks.open method to open a
workbook and then extracting some data from it. The
routine opens the workbook and gets the desired
information. However, I'd like to close the workbook
before moving on to other steps but I can't seem do it.

Can anyone help me out with this one?

......
Workbooks.Open "K:\AAAA\BBBB\CCCC\excelfile.xls"
Set currentBook = Application.ActiveWorkbook
'do other stuff

Workbooks(currentBook).Close
.....
The routine doesn't crash, it just doesn't close the
workbook. I don't need to save any changes to the file I
want to close. I also have other workbooks open that I
don't want closed.

Thanks,
Raul
