I have two possible requests, which ever is easiest will be the best choice.
:)
A macro I'm working on opens up extra work books for the purpose of pasting
various filtered data (it's fairly complicated, was the only way I could
think to extract the data exactly how I wanted). The end resulting workbook
is the keeper, everything else I want to have close. SO Here is what I've
been playing with:

Windows("Book1").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveWindow.Close savechanges:=False
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

The only problem with this is that two caution windows pop up. It would be
nice if the macro could just auto answer and I wouldn't have to pay attention
to it.
1: Asking do you want to save the information copied on the clipboard for
pasting later
What does the code look like for it to auto answer yes to that
question?
2: Asks do you want to paste anyway? The data being pasted is a different
size.
What does the code look like for it to auto answer yes to that question?

That would solve everything, leaving a single workbook open. BUT if there
is an easier way, perhaps a formula that will close everything EXCEPT for the
last one (in this case "Book2" ) That just seems like it would be simpler,
but I haven't the foggiest what the code would look like. Any ideas???
THANKS!!!

Hi Bodhisatvaofboogie,

Try:

Application.EnableAlerts = False

'Your closing code

Application.EnableAlerts = True

Hi Bodhisatvaofboogie

Application.EnableAlerts = False

'Your closing code

Application.EnableAlerts = True

Should have been

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

'Your closing code

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

hi,
to turn alerts off...
Application.displayalerts = false
but afterwards, be sure to turn them back on.....
application.displayalerts = true
