Default Workbooks_beforeclose() function and out of disk space

Hammer

I have disabled the SAVE AS on my sheet, so users will not be able to
save documents on their personal folder.


What means have employed to prevent users from copying the sheets to a new
workbook and saving that?

The Workbook_BeforeClose function has a Cancel argument. If your error
handler sets this argument to True, the close operation should stop, leaving
the workbook open.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I am having trouble dealing with closing the workbook and saving.

I am using the workbooks_beforeclose function and ActiveWorkbook.close
Save=true or something like that (cant remember th ecorrect syntax).

It works fine, but only if there is enough disk space.
We have limited disk space.

I tried to catch the error with ON ERROR GOTO Errohandler:
and at ERRORHANDLER: I do a check if the error is 1004 and display a
message to warn users about it and then exit sub.
The problem is that excel does not stop the closing process and it
then asks if the user wants to save/discard or cancel the changes...

Thats because after exit sub in the errorhandler, excell restarts the
function again???

How can I avoid this?
