I'm using the date code below to close the file but just figured that if
the file is renamed this will fail. Is there code that will close the
workbook no matter what the filename to overcome this ?


Dim exdate As Date
exdate = "07/12/2009"
If Date exdate Then
MsgBox ("Sorry this spreadsheet has expired please use latest
version")
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks("Master 09 17.50 VAT.XLS").Close
Exit Sub
End If

It might help to name the workbook when it is opened and then use that variable when closing. Something like this in your code:


dim wrkNewWorkbook as Workbook

'after you open workbook

wrkNewWorkbook = Activeworkbook.Name

'then after you've done whatever you need to do with the file you can close it

Workbooks(wrkNewWorkbook).Close Savechanges:=false

Or you can just use:

Activeworkbook.Close Savechanges:=false

maybe?

Thanks ddibble, works a treat.
