Canceling Workbook_BeforeClose does not work
One of those bang your head against the wall ones...
FYI - ExcelXP, if it matters. Everything i read says that setting Cancel = True in Workbook_BeforeClose should prevent the workbook from actually closing, i.e. prevent the built-in "Do you want to save?..." dialog from popping up. Am I wrong? I have a blank workbook with only the following code in ThisWorkbook. If a change is made and the user tries to close the workbook and then clicks CANCEL to my home-grown dialog box, the built-in File-Save dialog box still pops up right afterwards. What am i missing?? Thanks. Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) If Not Me.Saved Then Msg = "Do you want to save the workbook?" Ans = MsgBox(Msg, vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel) Select Case Ans Case vbYes Me.Save Case vbNo Me.Saved = True Case vbCancel Cancel = True End Select End If End Sub |

Your code worked for me also, and I'm running XP (Excel 2003)

Canceling Workbook_BeforeClose does not work
Thanks Mickey and Tom for trying out the code. I ran it from my home
computer last night and it also runs fine. I tried again on my work computer this morning and it still does not work. Maybe something is fishy with my Excel installation. The IT group has recently pushed out some Excel add-ins that may be messing things up. Problem is, i've uninstalled them all and i still have the issue. Does anyone even know what sort of setting might be overwritten that would prevent me from canceling Workbook_BeforeClose? I don't even know where to begin. If i were home i would just re-install Excel but that's not so easy at work. Thanks.
