Default Close doesn't always close

Greetings all,

I need to pick your collective brains again since I couldn't find this
exact issue in the archives. I've got a workbook which looks in a
particular directory on a fileserver, and loops through each .xls
file: opening, copying some key bits, pasting, and then closing each.
There's roughly 50 excel files in the directory that this workbook
deals with. Everything seems to work fine except at the end of the
run, there's usually a half-dozen files left open. All the others were
successfully closed, but not these brave few. This has become
something of a proud nail for me - it's really only a minor
inconvenience, but it's starting to bug the heck out of me. ;^)

Here's what I'm doing (Excel 2007 by the way):

Sub PullData()
'declarations and other stuff snipped

File = Dir(CStr(SrcDir & "\*.xls*"))
Do While Len(File) 0

'open each workbook
Set srcWbk = Workbooks.Open(SrcDir & "\" & File)

'does a bunch of copy/paste stuff here, snipped


srcWbk.Close True
File = Dir

Loop
End Sub


Any thoughts? That srcWbk.Close bit just seems to get ignored around
15% of the time.

thanks!
