You would have to use the BeforeClose Event if you want to cancel a close
that has already been initiated.

Use the Cancel arguement. Set it to True.

Tom, That does not work. all that does it closes the file.

sub auto_close()
reponse=msgbox (close, yes/no)
if response = no then
'tried your suggestion but does not work
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
else
save file as is and close
endif
end sub

any other suggestions?

Possibly by setting

ThisWorkbook.Saved = True

Before Excel attempts to close the file.

Hello,

I have a auto_close routine that intercepts the file save routine but
when
the routine ends I still see the file save Yes, No Cancel dialog.


How do I disable this and continue?

Thanks in advance,
