Workbook_BeforeClose Question
I'm using this code to clear everything within the range of C14 to C21
(Sheet1) before my workbook closes: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C14:C21").ClearContent s End Sub I wonder why it doesn't work. The data still remain (in the cells) if I open it again. Is it because some cells have data validation on it? And they're data input is restricted? Or is there another way of making this work? Help. :) |

Workbook_BeforeClose Question
Your code has to be in ThisWorkbook to work. If it's in a module, it won't
get executed. "Sashi" wrote in message ...

Workbook_BeforeClose Question
Hi Dave,
My code is already in ThisWorkbook, so it shouldn't be a problem. :( Hello Jim, I already added the line: Worksheets("Sheet1").Save after clearing the contents, it still didn't work. :( Sashi "Jim Cone" wrote: You need to save the workbook after clearing the cells. -- Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "Sashi" wrote in message I'm using this code to clear everything within the range of C14 to C21 (Sheet1) before my workbook closes: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C14:C21").ClearContent s End Sub I wonder why it doesn't work.

Workbook_BeforeClose Question
You cannot save a worksheet. You must save the workbook
Thisworkbook.save or ActiveWorkbook.save Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 25 Jul 2007 08:04:01 -0700, Sashi wrote: Hi Dave, My code is already in ThisWorkbook, so it shouldn't be a problem. :( Hello Jim, I already added the line: Worksheets("Sheet1").Save after clearing the contents, it still didn't work. :( Sashi "Jim Cone" wrote: You need to save the workbook after clearing the cells. -- Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "Sashi" wrote in message I'm using this code to clear everything within the range of C14 to C21 (Sheet1) before my workbook closes: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C14:C21").ClearContent s End Sub I wonder why it doesn't work.

Hi Gord,
I'm so sorry for being such a pain, but I tried your suggestion, leme show you my whole code: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C14:C21").ClearContent s 'ThisWorkbook.Save *I actually tried both* ActiveWorkbook.Save End Sub These lines are in Sheet1. What else can I do? "Gord Dibben" wrote: You cannot save a worksheet.

Workbook_BeforeClose Question
Before_Close code must be entered into ThisWorkbook module.
Entering in a sheet module won't run it.
