Correct, the user cannot run workbook_beforeclose. But have you ever
wondered why a user *can* run workbook_open directly from the VBE?

Use the workbook_beforeclose event instead.

I have an auto_close macro designed to reset toolbars etc.
once a user has finished with the workbook.

Is it possible to prevent users being able to run the
macro whilst the workbook is in use?

Many Thanks
