#1. You can check to see if excel thinks the workbook is "dirty" (needs
saving).
if mywkrbk.saved = true then
'no outstanding changes
else
'something could have changed since the last save
end if

#2. Take a look at this kb article:

If you don't need to make changes and save that other workbook, maybe you
could just open it readonly.

Hi friends,
i hope somebody knows the right answer to this questions:

1.- Before closing the workbook, I need to know (programatically) if
any changes were made to it, something like..
Sub BeforeClosing()
If myWrkBk.ChangesWereMade = True then
'XXX
End if
End Sub

2.- My workbook (with the macro) is on the local server, and uses
several other worbooks too. when I try to open one of those several
workbooks it may be already open. Is there anyway i could know if that
workbook is already running in some place in the server?

Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
