Just throwing out an idea. If you open certain workbooks often, and know
that you do not want to save changes, perhaps add something like this to the
"ThisWorkbook" module:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End Sub

When this workbook is closed, Excel will think that the data has been saved,
and won't prompt to save anything.
Another option to throw out. In Personal.xls, I have a class module that
intercepts the closing of all workbooks. If the workbook has a certain
document property set, the macro will set the saved property to true. For
example, a certain template imports data, and generates reports, When I
click close, I do not want this saved (I would run the macro again for more
current data). I would add a document property to this template that tells
the closing macro not to bother saving changes. Again, just an idea.

Thanks Dana, I will give this a go. The problem I have is
that a few of my workbooks run macro's automaticaly when
opened, and because i am working on a project that brings
in 12 workbooks information into one, I dont want them to
save the changes, hence the wanting to change the
defaults. I am sure this would also help me in other
projects also.
Many thanks again
John

If I am not mistaken, when you "save" a document, the
changes will be saved.
However, when you "close" a document, you have the
option of saving changes
or not.

Workbooks("BOOK1.XLS").Close SaveChanges:=False ' or True

You may want to look at the "Saved" property also.
You can fake excel into thinking the workbook was saved,
then close it.

ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
ThisWorkbook.Close

I hope I understood the question correctly.

When saving a document using VBA it would always
default
to either saving with changes or without (as an
example)
What do I enter into the code that would force it into
doing otherwise?
Many thanks in advance
John
