closing files

Posted by Steve Fairhurst on November 16, 2001 6:59 AM

I am working with text files that have benn sent by a Unix system to my PC.
After opening and importing the data into my spreadsheet I need to close these files.
I use the VB macro command ActiveWindow.Close
But...
The system always pops up the save to clipboard message which I must answer yes or no to.
Is there a way to bypass or close this prompt without operator input? A VB command I can use in my Macro?
Thank you
Steve F.

Hello..

why don't you use :

Sub auto_close()
application.quit
end sub

You could try this

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWindow.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
