Closing files without save
 

I am writing a macro which opens and closes a series of other workbooks.
When I close a workbook, Excel prompts me if I want to save the file and if
I want to delete whatever is left on the clipboard.

How can I, in VBA, close a workbook without saving it and not have Excel
displaying a dialog box asking if I want to save?
Also, how can I surpress the question about the clipboard, and automatically
have Excel to discard those items left on the clipboard?

Thanks in advance,
Warren

Not sure about the clipboard thing but the save code is
here

Workbooks("yourfilename.xls").Close savechanges:=False

Wrap you close code in

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks(1).Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Answered only the last part. For the first part, use the SaveChanges
argument:

Workbooks(1).Close SaveChanges:=False

A couple other things.

If wb.Saved = false then wb.Save



i = 0

For Each wb In Workbooks

If Not (wb.Name = "Personal.xls") Then

i = i + 1

End If

Next wb



Application.EnableEvents = False

Application.DisplayAlerts = False



If i = 1 Then

Application.Quit

Else

ThisWorkbook.Close (False)

End if

Application.EnableEvents = True

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Set wb = Nothing

Set ws = Nothing
