Default Close Excel file without prompting user to save

I'm sure you're right, Tom ... my memory's not what it used to be!

Hello Vasant,

Believe you are thinking of overwriting a file.

Application.displayAlerts = False
thisworkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\MyFolder\MyExistingFilename.xls"
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

In xl2003 help, at least, they point this exception out.

Hi Tom:

I'm probably wrong <g, but I seem to remember that this is the one case

in
which Excel does not perform the default action (despite what Help

says).

Regards,

Vasant

Just a heads up for consideration:
I didn't test this particular case, but help says displayalerts =

false
pursues the default action of the dialog.
Using displayalerts would suppress the prompt, but the default action

would
be taken and that is to save the file.

Set Application.DisplayAlerts to False, to not show the save changes
dialog box. However, that will stop Excel from prompting it, but

still
give the user the ability to save it. You might want to look at the
BeforeSave event, to try to stop them from saving.
