Default Combobox_Change event fires on workbook close

I have a workbook with a combobox 'CUPrevious' on one of its worksheets, with
change event coded (in the worksheet module) as follows:

Private Sub CUPrevious_Change()

Dim t As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If Application.EnableEvents Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
End If

t = CUPrevious.LinkedCell

If Range(t).Value < "" Then
Call CUFunc(Range(t).Text)
End If

Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

For some reason, whenever the workbook closes, this event is triggered and
if that sheet is not active at the time, the line
t = CUPrevious.LinkedCell
causes a runtime error as the value of linkedcell for the combobox seems to
be inaccessible. This is a problem which I have been able to get around by
calling the worksheet's Activate method in a Workbook.Before_Close procedure.
However, I don't see why the combobox change event should fire at all - the
value is not changing. Does anyone know why this is happening? More to the
point, is there some way to stop the event firing?
