All,
I am working with two workbooks, wbA and wbB.

wbA opens wbB. wbB does some work interactively with the user, then the user
closes wbB with a button on a modeless userform uaing the statement
"ThisWorkbook.Close".

I wish wbA to detect that wbB is now closed and to continue its work.(e.g.:
Show a userform in the context of the file which was just exited).

The Problem:
If the user closes wbB manually, wbA WorkbookActivate event is fired. (This
is good)
If the ThisWorkbook.Close command is initiated in wbB itself, no
WorkbookActivate event is
triggered when wbB closes . It becomes impossible to detect, from wbA, that
wbB is closed
(This is bad).

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help,
Alex J

If wbB should only open when wbA opens it, and control should return to wbA
when it's closed, why not have the button in the userform in wbB call a
macro in wbA that closes wbB and proceeds on to whatever else you want wbA
to do?

Harlan,
Can I infer that you provided a SUBLIMinal response to my question <BG?

I had already attempted your suggestion, and ended up with some problems,
hence the desire to use an event. I'll try this again.

Regards,
Alex
