Yeah I'll just delete the button and stick with this method.

Thanks.

How about in the before close event add in the save. Add this code to the

and select View Code)

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If Not ThisWorkbook.Saved Then ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub

How can I force this? Can I?

I need to make sure the workbook is saved before it's closed, make sure
it's not closed without being saved. I have a "Close" button that goes
to a macro that saves.

I thought of putting a save macro in as workbook.deactivate code, but
then my button would be redundant.

Should I just lose the button and stick with workbook.deactivate?
