Hi Robert,

I interpreted you question a bit differently to JLGWhiz and now not sure
that my interpretation is correct but I'll post my answer anyway. (Straight
out of Help.)

If Not ActiveWorkbook.Saved Then
MsgBox "This workbook contains unsaved changes."
End If

More than one option.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Or:

ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

Is there a flag or variable or property that I can check
that indicates whether or not the "Do you want to save
changes?" dialog will appear when a workbook is closed??

If someone changes the contents of a cell and tries to close
the workbook without saving, Excel knows that the user
did not save the workbook. So, just to be more clear,
how can I find out if Excel knows that a "save changes"
is required??

thank you
