Are you using OnTime for your timer? If so, the settings passed
to OnTime are global to the Excel application, and will only 'go
away' when Excel itself is closed. When the timer pops, Excel
will open the workbook containing the macro specified in OnTime
and execute it.

You should write your code such that the OnTime cancels itself
when the workbook in question is closed.

I have VB code timer that shuts down a workbook after awhile.
But if you close it early while any other workbook is open, the
time (and code) still runs. I know this because the workbook
re-opens when the timer runs out - only to close it.
Has anyone run into this?

Thanks, Chip
I never thought of OnTime being global.

I never thought of OnTime being global.

The fact that it is a method of the Application object is a good
indicator that it is global to Excel and not part of an
individual workbook.
