Can I stop the close method in an auto close macro
 

I have an auto close macro running on a file that demands certain cells are
complete before closing.

Is there a way of stopping the close method within the auto close macro when
the data is not present.

Can I stop the close method in an auto close macro
 

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
'do your test and if true
Cancel = True

End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code
