The goal is to have a file without any modules and if no changes are made, when closed gives no warning to save changes.
My file has a large number of modules. The last module is to save the file as a .xlsx and I understood doing so should remove all the modules. The modules are being retained until the file is closed. When closing the file a warning is rendered about saving changes.

Applicate any assistance!

VBA Code:
Sub SaveFinalasXLSX_m()
' properties name = SaveFinalasXLSX
    With Application
      .DisplayAlerts = False
      .ScreenUpdating = True
      .DisplayStatusBar = True
      .Calculation = xlManual
      .OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 0.1), "m_ClearStatusBar"
      .StatusBar = "Saving as a regular Excel file."
      .OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 10), "m_ClearStatusBar"
      .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With 'Application
'
    Dim WbPath As String
    Dim varPath As String
    Dim fPath As String
    Dim FileP As String 'file path entered into Range("FinalSave") on the [Start] worksheet.
    Dim ThisWb  As Workbook
'
    Set ThisWb = ActiveWorkbook
    With ThisWb
'
    varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
    fPath = Replace(varPath, "\", "/") & "/Temp/"
    WbPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
'
    FileP = Range("FinalSave")
    ThisWb.SaveAs FileP & "AD_Listing_" & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yyyy  hmmAM/PM") & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=51
'
   With Application
      .DisplayAlerts = False
      .ScreenUpdating = True
      .DisplayStatusBar = True
      .Calculation = xlManual
      .OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 0.1), "m_ClearStatusBar"
      .StatusBar = "Completed saving as a regular Excel file."
      .OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 10), "m_ClearStatusBar"
      .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With 'Application
    End With 'ThisWb
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
How about adding these two lines
VBA Code:
    FileP = Range("FinalSave")
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ThisWb.SaveAs FileP & "AD_Listing_" & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yyyy  hmmAM/PM") & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=51
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Fluff, appreciate your taking a look at this. The code below resulted in the message below when I immediately tried to closed the file:

Hadn't noticed that you are already turning off alerts, so there is no need for those two lines I added.
That said you are not turning alerts on again, however if it's asking you if you want to save, then something has changed in the file, or it needs to be recalculated.

You could add this to the ThisWorkbook module:

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    If Right(ThisWorkbook.Name, 4) = "xlsx" Then
        'Assume file was saved as xlsx, hence we do not want the save changes question
        ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
    End If
End Sub

No success with adding "calculate" just before the save or adding Jan's module to the ThisWorkbook module. The workbook is retaining the modules, but if I close it without saving and re-open it, the modules are gone.
Strange . . .

The modules & code will not be removed until the workbook is closed.
