Capture close excel event in .xla
 

Hi - I hope someone can help.

I'm trying to capture the event where someone closes Excel (using the
red "X"). My code is in an .xla and no other workbooks are open except
the hidden .xla.

My code is in "This Workbook" of the hidden .xla

I've tried:
Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Workbook_WindowDeactivate(ByVal Wn As Window)
Workbook_Deactivate()
Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)

None are captured - Excel just shuts down without triggering.

The funny thing is, Workbook_Open() does trigger when the xla is
opened.

I'm using Excel 2000 if it makes any difference. Does anyone have any
ideas?

Thanks & regards,
Jon.

I would have thought that workbook close would have been triggered, so I
just tried it. And it did, the close event was triggered as expected.

Just noticed your comment re Excel 2000, so I tried it there, and it still
worked.

Hi Bob,
I just found this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q248172/

Seems like this is a bug with the original release of Excel 2000. I'm
not sure if I have the service pack installed, so I'll install it
anyway and report back. Thanks for your help,
Jon.

I didn't know about that bug, but I can confirm that I do have SR-1

With SR-1 installed, Workbook_BeforeClose now triggers from within
the .xla

Thanks!
