Code:
Sub isAnyWorkbookOpen()        
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim wbs As Workbooks
    Dim msg As String
    Dim Result
    
    msg = "The following workbook(s) must be closed before continuing:" & Chr(10) & "Do you want to close?" & Chr(10) & Chr(10)
    
    Set wbs = Application.Workbooks
    
    For Each wb In wbs
        If wb.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then msg = msg & wb.Name & Chr(10)
    Next wb
    
    If Len(msg) > 0 Then
        Result = MsgBox(msg, 52, "Workbooks Open")
    Else
         [COLOR=#008000]'Close MessageBox[/COLOR]
    End If
    If Result = vbYes Then
        wb.Close
    Else
        
    End If
End Sub
The problem with code above is that I get a "Runtime error 91: Object variable or with block variable not set" and when I click debug it highlights "wb.Close" I just want to close all the workbooks except the current one. Also if the user clicks "No" then I need the messagebox to close. I already tried
Code:
Cancel = True
but I get a "Compile error: Variable not defined" with the word Cancel highlighted in blue. However, on this issue I shouldn't have to do anything because when I click the No button it automatically closes the msgbox anyways. Am I wrong on that observation?

Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Assuming the code is in the workbook that is the only workbook you want open (except a hidden Personal workbook if you have one), you don't really need a message box.
Code:
Sub CloseAllButThisOne()
Dim wb As Workbook
For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
    If wb.Name <> "PERSONAL.XLSB" And wb.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
        wb.Close
    End If
Next wb
End Sub
