i am updating a book by copying another
a popup prompt "classes need to be updated do you want to update"
how do i prevent that?
i colored the line of code red where the problem happens

Rich (BB code):
Sub GetClassesNames()
    
        
    ' GetClassesNames Macro

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Dim wbApproved As Workbook
    
    Call WSUnProtect(ActiveSheet)
   
    Sheets("ClassesMemberships Names").Select
    'Columns("A:D").ClearContents
    
   
    If IsWorkBookOpen("M:\all\Rochma Jungreis\Approved Classes\Approved Classes by ABC.xlsm") = False Then
        Set wbApproved = Workbooks.Open("M:\all\Rochma Jungreis\Approved Classes\Approved Classes by ABC.xlsm")
        DoEvents
        
        Else
            MsgBox "Workbook 'Approved Classes by ABC' is already open.  Update not allowed."
Exit Sub
    End If

'    Else
'        Set wbApproved = Workbooks("Approved Classes by ABC.xlsm")
'    End If
    
    Workbooks("Approved Classes by ABC.xlsm").Activate
    Workbooks("Approved Classes by ABC.xlsm").Worksheets("ClassesMemberships Names").Columns("A:F").Copy
    DoEvents
    ThisWorkbook.Activate
    
    Worksheets("ClassesMemberships Names").Activate
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Range("A:F").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
    DoEvents
     
    
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
    'Disable Events to prevent prompt to backup Class Book
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Workbooks("Approved Classes by ABC.xlsm").Close SaveChanges:=False
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    
    Call WSProtect(ActiveSheet)

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
    MsgBox "Classes/Memberships has been updated successfuly!"
    
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Excel motto
Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
Try

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Before the line

and then

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

After the line

a popup prompt "classes need to be updated do you want to update"
That is not a native Excel prompt so I doubt displayalerts will help. I'm surprised it happens given that you are disabling events and there's nothing in the code you posted to produce that message.
