When you step through the code, each line of code is like a separate sub.
So when you set it to false and stop, excel changes it back to true. This
is not the behavior if you run it normally.

A better way to avoid the original problem is

ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

and avoid the DisplayAlerts

Hi I got Excell 2000

I have a piece of code which opens a workbook(a) and copys selected
sheets to Workbook(B). I then close workbook (A) but do not want the
"do you want to save..." display to pop up so I wrote the following
code to stop it from displaying the save option.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

If i step through my code as soon as I get to the close bit and move my
mouse over application.dis its telling me that it is true. which of
coarse make the save option pop up. so I wrote this code in case I
turned the displayalerts off some where else.

If Application.DisplayAlerts = True Then Application.DisplayAlerts =
False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

when I step through it picks it up as being true and does the then bit
and then carrys on as it still being true. it seems to be ignoring the
fact that I had made it false.

I know this works as I have other workbooks that do a similar thing.

Any Ideas?
