Hello,
I am trying to use loop for the first time. I need to loop through open workbooks, and close each workbook after I have copied the data from it. I am trying the following the below to indicate the next workbook, but it always treats the value as true even if there is only the workbook with the macros open.

If ActiveWindow.ActivateNext = False Then
GoTo DDC
ElseIf ActiveWindow.ActivateNext = True Then
GoTo DDC
End If

DC:
code here

DDC:
code to finalize.

I also tried

Do until ActiveWindow.ActivateNext = False

code

Loop

No luck there either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
