I have some code that is meant to save and close the workbook identified in the select statement (Wes_reference or Riv_reference) but it is not closing it. What have I left out?



Code:
Sub AddReference()

Dim wb1 As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, sh2 As Worksheet, site As String
Dim f As Range, client As Variant, Ref As String, ref2 As String

    Set wb1 = ThisWorkbook
    Set sh1 = wb1.Worksheets("quote_sheet")
    'set site = site name selected on Start_here sheet
    site = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Start_here").Range("H9")
    'open the reference number sheet for the site that has been selected on the sheet Shart_here
    Select Case site
        Case "Wes"
                If Not isFileOpen("Wes_reference.xlsm") Then
                    Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "Wes_reference.xlsm"
                End If
            Set wb2 = Workbooks("Wes_reference")
            Set sh2 = wb2.Sheets("Wes_reference")
        Case "Riv"
                If Not isFileOpen("Riv_reference.xlsm") Then
                    Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "Riv_reference.xlsm"
                End If
            Set wb2 = Workbooks("Riv_reference")
            Set sh2 = wb2.Sheets("Riv_reference")
    End Select
    
    Ref = sh2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Value
    ref2 = Ref + 1
    
    sh2.Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Value = ref2
    sh1.Range("H5").Value = ref2
    With wb2
        .Save
        .Close
    End With
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Try setting the workbook when you open it

Replace
Code:
Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "Wes_reference.xlsm"
with
Code:
Set wb2 = Workbooks.Open(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "Wes_reference.xlsm")
and delete
Code:
Set wb2 = Workbooks("Wes_reference")

Same for the other workbook


Incidentally to set workbook after opening it, this may be the problem
Code:
Set wb2 = Workbooks("Wes_reference")
Should be
Code:
Set wb2 = Workbooks("Wes_reference.xlsm")
