but it also instantly terminates my code as well

That didn't seem right to me but I did a test and you are correct. In the
following code the last line, closing the just opened workbook, does not get
executed:

Sub a()
Application.AutomationSecurity = _
msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable
Workbooks.Open "book2.xls"
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
End Sub

But here is a way around that using OnTime. Granted you do have to rearrage
your code a little to impliment this:

Sub a()
Application.AutomationSecurity = _
msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable
Application.OnTime DateAdd("s", 0, Now), "Continue"
Workbooks.Open "book2.xls"
End Sub

Sub Continue()
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
End Sub
