Is there a specific vba command that can be used that would automatically run a macro when a file close is perfomed in excel?

An example of where I need to do this is to properly shut down some equipment before the excel file closes - or else it locks up.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.Run "Macro Name"
End Sub

Put this in the WORKBOOK code, not a module or Worksheet...

right click the excel icon in top left corner next to file - view code
paste.


OR, just name your macro Auto_Close
