Default Can't delete sheets

Hi,
I'm trying to delete two sheets from a workbook that were added during
a Workbook_Open event. In the close procedure I have the following
code:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
DoEvents
On Error Resume Next
If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Summary" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Visible = True
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Delete
End If

On Error GoTo 0

Worksheets(Sheets.Count).Visible = True
Worksheets(Sheets.Count).Select
Worksheets(Sheets.Count).Delete

Application.Caption = Empty

ThisWorkbook.Save
ThisWorkbook.Close

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.Quit
End Sub

The problem is that when I open the workbook, I get a '1004' error
because the summary sheet already exists. I put a counter in the
Workbook_Open procedure to verify that it was only firing once and
message box at the tail end of the Workbook_BeforeClose procedure
asking for the last sheet name, which was correct. So, why can't I
delete these two sheets?
Thanks.
James
