I've used

Application.DisplayAlerts = FALSE

Save code

Application.DisplayAlerts = TRUE

with success. I usually do this though so that I know I'm working on the
correct workbook.

Dim aWB as Workbook

Set aWB = Nothing
on Error resume next
Set aWB = Workbooks("file_name.xls")
on error goto 0

if Not aWB is nothing then ...
Do whatever you'd do with the aWB.
end if

Good morning,
I am aware that this issue has been raised
several times, however, i have yet to find a string of code that
actually gets RID of the "would you like to save prompt"!

I am using excel 2003 and i have tried all of the codes below with NO
success:

1) Windows("file_name.xls").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Close (savechanges = False)

2) currentWorkbook.Close savechanges = False

3) Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close

Nothing i have tried from previous articles has helped; any advice
would be greatly appreciated.
