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.
