Hiding WorkBook without specifying a file name

Posted by Stan on September 28, 2001 6:05 AM

I am using the following to hide a workbook

Windows("myFile.xls").Visible = False

If I save the file as "myNewFile.xls", I have to go through the code and change the file name. Is there a way that I don't have to specify "myFile.Xls"? Note: if there are other WorkBooks open, I don't want to hide them - only the one with the code.

Cheers

Stan

Try

ThisWorkbook.Visible = False

Stan, a familiar problem, I think I've read this somewhere before :)

Using a string variable name codeWorkbook, you can use:

codeWorkbook = ThisWorkbook.Name
Windows(codeWorkbook).Visible = False

Juan, it doesn't work for me

I tried using this one line of code and get a compile error "Method or data member not found". Any ideas why it doesn't work for me??

Re: Juan, it doesn't work for me

I didn't copy the entire thing, sorry

Windows(Thisworkbook.Name).Visible = False

It's the same, one line shorter, than yours.
