Hi all,

I am trying to close a file using VBA which in itself is quite simple however the file name changes so I only ever know a part of the filename and its location.

Location:
P:\Public User Area\Purchasing\Suppliers\National Tube Stockholders\Price Review\

The section of the filename that I have is: "Price List - "

I would also like it to save with-out prompts as well.


Can anyone help me with the VBA code to do this?


Thanks in advance

If the file you're trying to close is an Excel workbook, and you're trying to close it using VBA in another (separate) Excel workbook, you could try the code below.

If this isn't what you're trying to do, please refer to the post above and give some more info.

Code:
Sub CloseWorkbook()
  Dim Wb As Workbook
  For Each Wb In Application.Workbooks
    If Wb.Name Like "Price List*" Then
      Wb.Close SaveChanges:=True ' or false to discard changes
      Exit Sub
    End If
  Next Wb
End Sub

It only actually saves but the filename depends on a cell value, ParamRay's code did the trick - thanks anyway.
