Hi,

I have a file which is to be viewed only.

I have got the code to close the workbook but I want to include the fact
that it should be closed without saving changes.

Is this possible?

My code for closing is simply

ActiveWorkbook.Close

Thanks

ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub

Try Workbooks("MyBook1.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False
where MyBook.xls is your workbook

Hi,

There are seveal macro based ways but if the user doesn't enable macros then
you have a problem. Why not simply set the file as read only by right click
in Windows explorer, select properties and set it as read only.

This can still be defeated but is probably as secure as any macro based
solution.

Hi Mike,

As the whole file is Macro dependant nothing will work if they do not enable
macros. You have a good point about making it read only though.

Hi,

I have tried both suggested macro codes and neither of them work.

When I go back into view the code I get the following error message??

'Object Library invalid or contains references to object definitions that
could not be found'

I don't think this has caused it but I have never had this before - VB help
is of no help at all!
