Hi gk

like this

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If MsgBox("yes or no", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

I am trying to simulate one of those "Do you really, REALLY want to close
this workbook" messages when a user tries to close a workbook. I am using
a message box with the vbYesNo constant and I can successfully determine
if Yes or No was clicked. If the user selects "No", which in my case
would be to NOT close the workbook, how do I get out of the BeforeClose
event without closing?

All help appreciated.

Thanks!
