Default workbook.close savechanges:=True problem

As I presume you are using automation across office or even from

another
language, you could try

xlApp.DisplayAlerts=False


First, I would like to thank you for your response.

The entire application runs inside 1 instance of Excel. I originally
tried turning off the "DisplayAlerts", but Excel would raise an error
and not save the file. I removed the "DisplayAlerts=False" line -but
left in the "SaveChanges:=True"- which caused the Save yes/no dialog
window to show up. If I click Yes, everything works fine. So that is how
I have left it at this time, but it bugs me when I don't understand what
is going on.

The Workbook which contains the VBA code is a small file (194k). The
files that are controlled by the code are very large 6MB/ea. The large
files contain very detailed quality information over the span of a
calender year. There are over 20 worksheets, 14 charts, and hundreds if
not thousands of equations in each 6MB file. I have seen some very
strange behavior when exceeding Excel's limitations. This issue is so
repeatable that I don't think the file size is the problem. I process
only one large file at a time to avoid any memory issues.

If you have any additional thoughts I would be happy to hear them.

Thsnkd again.
