OK, I have a schedulr task that opens an Excel workbook. This excel
workbook has some code in it (in the WorkBook module) that opens
another workbook and runs a script in the newly opened workbook. The
newly opened workbook closes itself fine, but then it seems the code
does not default back to the original workbook. What the heck is going
on? Is there something I am missing?

Scheduler opens workbook 1, workbook 1 opens workbook 2 and starts
script, script runs, workbook 2 closes, why won't workbook 1 close?

It may be as simple as just reselecting that window in your code.

example:
windows("current.xls").activate

I've tried activating the workbook in the code of BOTH books, I've
tried closing workbook1 from workbook2 (then workbook2 doesn't close).
Hey wait, maybe I need to close workbook2 from workbook1 at the end of
the process...

Nope, that didn't work.

workbook1

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Run "BackEndDSET"

End Sub


Sub BackEndDSET()

Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"T:\SOC\Residential Directory\DSET Error Tracking\DSET Error
Track to Access Database.xls"
Application.Run "'DSET Error Track to Access
Database.xls'!OpenDate"

MsgBox ("Back to Automation Workbook")



Windows("DSET Back End Automation.xls").Close False

End Sub


workbook2

Please post the code from the workbook module and I'll see if I can help
