Yep, that's correct. You're working with the object (The workbook) directly
instead of accessing the collection.

Thanks a bunch. I found the error in my code. The code
wasn't getting the name of the file I wanted to close.
After I added
"WorkBookName = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Name"
and in the code and then used WorkBookName instead of
currentBook in the following statement it worked
"Workbooks(WorkBookName).Close SaveChanges:=False"

I'll try your suggestion also. I was dimensioning
currentBook As Excel.WorkBook

Is this correct?

Thanks again

Try with

currentBook.Close

instead

I am loosely using the workbooks.open method to open a
workbook and then extracting some data from it. The
routine opens the workbook and gets the desired
information. However, I'd like to close the workbook
before moving on to other steps but I can't seem do it.

Can anyone help me out with this one?

.....
Workbooks.Open "K:\AAAA\BBBB\CCCC\excelfile.xls"
Set currentBook = Application.ActiveWorkbook
'do other stuff

Workbooks(currentBook).Close
....
The routine doesn't crash, it just doesn't close the
workbook. I don't need to save any changes to the
file I
want to close. I also have other workbooks open that I
don't want closed.

Thanks,
Raul
