Is it possible (or even wise) to automatically close and
save a workbook after a couple minutes of idle time???
If so, how would you implement the timer?

thank u

Hi,

Is it wise

Only you can decide. In this portion of the code I've pointed you to you
will need to make a decison, Save or Not Save

Sub CloseMe()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=True ' or false, you choose
Application.displayalerts = True
End Sub

If you don't save what are you discarding=danger
If you do save what garbage are you keeping=danger

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
