Personal.xls & Workbook_BeforeClose
 

Hi

Can anyone explain why the "Workbook_BeforeClose" event does not work with
the "Personal.xls" file.

The code below is in the "ThisWorkBook" module of the Personal.xls file.

'This works fine
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Opening"
End Sub

'This does not work
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
MsgBox "Closing"
End Sub
'(This does work however if Personal.xls is not closed at the same time as
the Excel application.)



Thanks

It works fine for me.

Are you sure you saved personal.xls after making the change and before you
tried to close it?

Thanks for replying Tom.

Yes, retested on 2 computers, one with XL2002 and one with XL2003. I also
created a new "Personal.xls" file without any code other than the WorkBook
open and close messages. I also uninstalled all addins.

I think the problem lies with the Acrobat writer.....
