Are you saying Ret is empty second time around?

Bob, OK understand, but no there is nothing, just was i copied here. Is
there
a reason why once set the variable reurns to Empty on the seond pass?

Trefor,

I was referring to this bit


If Ret = vbOK Then
' Proceed with file closure
ElseIf Ret = vbCancel Then
Cancel = True
End If

I assumed there was some code in the vbOK path that you hadn't bothered
to
include.

Bob,

Sorry what do you mean by the OK action?

It only passes through once for me, so there must be some other code
interacting. What is in the OK action?

I even tried setting a variable to track that it had already made one
pass,
but at the start of the second pass the variable got set to Empty
and I
had
nothing to check.

I have the following code:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
msg = "You are attempting to manually exit a DCA file."
&
vbCrLf &
vbCrLf
msg = msg + "This file type should only be closed
through
the
DCA
menu. Failure to do so risks the LOSS of data!" & vbCrLf &
vbCrLf
&
vbCrLf
msg = msg + "Press 'Ok' to Continue" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
msg = msg + "Press 'Cancel' to abort the file save and
return
to
excel." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Ret = MsgBox(msg, vbExclamation + vbOKCancel)
If Ret = vbOK Then
' Proceed with file closure
ElseIf Ret = vbCancel Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

If I hit Cancel I get the expected result, if I hit Ok, runs
through
to
the
End Sub and goes back up to the beginning and runs the whole
macro
again.
So
you effectively get asked twice on closing the file.

What am I doing wrong? Any ideas welcome, thanks.
