An 'event' of zero activity?
I have 2 workbooks Wb1 & Wb2 open
I have code which does something under the WindowActivate event in the ThisWorkbook Object for each Wb. If I am displaying Wb1 and use Window on the main workbook menu to switch to Wb2, then the WindowActivate event is triggered for Wb2, as expected, and my code runs. If I then use File, Close on main workbook menu to close Wb2, the WindowActivate event is triggered for Wb1 and my code runs. Now the rub. I have code options which close the active Wb:- Workbooks("Filename.xls").Close savechanges:=False Workbooks("Filename.xls").Close savechanges:=True If I use either of these to close Wb1 both do as required, BUT do not trigger the WindowActivate for Wb2. Maybe that's how Excel VBA works, but I do need a trigger for Wb(x) when I use my code to close Wb(y) Am looking for something that don't exist? Any help would be much appreciated. Don Bowyer |

Don,
The Activate of the second workbook does fire when the first workbook is closed (and vice versa). I suspect you have something else going on in the logic of your code. By chance, are you setting EnableEvents to False anywhere? -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "don bowyer" wrote in message ...

An 'event' of zero activity?
Why not use code that activates the workbook before closing it.

Thanks for the reply Chip.
I haven't set EnableEvents to False. Maybe there is something else going on in my code. I'll look at that, but don't see what it can be if the Activate event SHOULD be happening.

Hi Tom - thanks for the reply.
Presumably you mean put some code in Wb1 to activate Wb2 and vice-versa.

You showed code that closes the workbooks:
Workbooks("Filename.xls").Close savechanges:=False Workbooks("Filename.xls").Close savechanges:=True so activate each workbook before closing was my thought. But Chip said the event should fire, so I would believe him. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy wrote in message ... Hi Tom - thanks for the reply.
