Hi again,

I thought it was the situation where the toolbar is created
at workbook open and deleted at close.

I assumed same, turned out to be toolbar in an addin.

Then why is the user being prompted to save changes?

Occurs if user attempts to close Excel while there are any unsaved workbooks
open. Concerning addins, in previous testing I found the Auto_close routine
always fires before user get the save changes prompt, but inconsistently
(not sure why) the BeforeClose event may fire either before or after user
gets the save changes prompt. The Toolbar will get deleted if called in the
auto_close and may get deleted if called in BeforeClose. The deactivate
event is not triggered in the addin.

Hi Doug,

The Deactivate & Activate events are not triggered in an addin, which as
I
understand is what the OP wants to cater for.

TomThumb,

Instead of the Open and BeforeClose events, look at using Activate and
Deactivate instead. When a workbook closes the Deactivate event fires
after
the BeforeClose and the Cancel message. Also, then your toolbar will
be
deleted when you switch to another workbook, which I'm guessing is also
what
you want.

hth,

Doug

Peter T:

Thank you for responding to my plea for help. I should have spelled
out
what I have in mind:

I have an Add-In Toolbar that I delete in my WorkBookBeforeClose
event
procedure. But when the user closes and then clicks "Cancel" when
asked
to
Save, the Close is terminated and the toolbar is gone. I want to
restore
that toolbar, or not delete it in the first place.

Can I somehow get a boolean from WorkbookBeforeSave?

"user canceled a close" - do you mean if user cancels Excel-quit or
merely
while doing file-close, that might be relevant depending on your
ultimate
objective. However in either case there is no direct method to
return
your
boolean if user cancelled close during the 'save unsaved file(s)
prompt'.

I assume you want to know so as to determine whether or not to run
your
close event code. One workaround is to run the close event as
normal,
but
also call a routine with the OnTime method to restore as-was. Eg
with
an
addins, might want to remove all menus as normal in the close event
then
put
them back again a few seconds later if the workbook is still open.

A different approach is to use a Com-addin. This has the advantage
that
its
close event only fires when Excel really is about to quit and won't
be
cancelled. There are various ways to get the CAI to call a routine
in
the
wb
to run close code 'only' if Excel and hence the file is about to
close.
I
believe Chip Pearson has made available on his site a CAI to do
that,
which
makes use of the 'hidden namespace'. I have a CAI that does similar
but
with
a different approach (doesn't use the namespace) if interested.

That is all I need to know: Just how can I obtain what is
probably
a
boolean
value telling me the user canceled a close.
