Hi Mason

You can close workbookA in the same macro that open workbookAB

After you open workbookB use this to close workbookA
ThisWorkbook.Close False 'not save

or
ThisWorkbook.Close False 'save the file

I have code that opens an excel file. Can I have an Open event on the new
opened Excel file that closes the original file?

So workbookA code opens workbookB. The open event in workbookB closes
workbookA.
But I won't know the name of workbookA, and other workbooks may be open also
and we don't want them closed.
