code for some time and I don't remember who the author was


'put this in a standard module
Dim DownTime As Date

Sub SetTime()
DownTime = Now + TimeValue("00:05:00")
Application.OnTime DownTime, "ShutDown"
End Sub

Sub ShutDown()
ThisWorkbook.Save
ThisWorkbook.Close
End Sub

Sub Disable()
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=DownTime, Procedu="ShutDown",
Schedule:=False
End Sub
'*******************************************

'put this in thisworkbook module
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "This workbook will auto-close after 5 minutes of inactivity"
Call SetTime
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Call Disable
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetCalculate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Call Disable
Call SetTime
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target
As Excel.Range)
Call Disable
Call SetTime
End Sub
