Using Excel 2002 & 2003

How do I close the whole Excel window? My goal is to exit without saving
data. If I write:
this.Close(false, missing, missing); (in ThisWorkbook_BeforeSave event)
the workbook closes without save, but the Excel window stays open, and
thus
the project is still in running mode.
Thanks :)
