Problem with Workbook_BeforeSave event
Hi all.
I have noticed that Workbook_BeforeSave event does not work properly if the workbook is closed by a VBA macro of another workbook or by an external VB program. For example, suppose I have the following two simple event procedures in ThisWorkbook module: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) MsgBox("BeforeSave event triggered") End Sub Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) 'Do something processing here such as hide certain worksheets and protect the workbook MsgBox("Before Me.Save") Me.Save MsgBox("After Me.Save") End Sub If I close the workbook manually in Excel, I would see the all three MsgBox displays and the worksheets I specified in the code would be hidden in the saved file. Now, suppose I have created an external VB program containing the following codes: Sub Main() Dim xlApp as Object Dim xlWorkbook as Object Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") xlApp.Open FileName:="SomeTestFile.xls" Set xlWorkbook = xlApp.Workbooks(1) xlWorkbook.Close xlApp.Close Set xlWorkbook = Nothing Set xlApp = Nothing End Sub This simple program is supposed to create an Excel application object, open a workbook, and then close the workbook. I was expecting all workbook events procedures would run as if I opened and closed the workbook manually. However, when I run the program, I only see "Before Me.Save" and "After Me.Save" msgboxes displayed. I did not see "BeforeSave event triggered" message displayed so that implies the BeforeSaveEvent was never triggerd. And afterward, Excel would display the "Do You want to save changes made in the workbook" message. If I select Yes to save the changes, worksheets that should have been hidden Workbook_BeforeClose proecdure are still visible in the saved file. Does anyone know if there is any known problem with Workbook_BeforeClose event procedure? Thanks. Jason |
