Hi.

I would like a macro that closes another spreadsheet at the end of a macro. The sheet always starts with the name 'formdata' but may have different number&letter sequence after the name. So to catch all I want the vba to close the file beginning with 'formdata'


Something like:
Workbooks("formdata.csv").Close SaveChanges:=False

Thanks in advance

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Is there only one file with a name starting with 'formdata...' open?

If there is try this.
Code:
Dim wbForm As Workbook

    For Each wbForm In Application.Workbooks
        If wbForm.Name Like "formdata*" Then
            Exit For
        End If
    Next wbForm

    If Not wbForm Is Nothing Then
        wbForm.Close SaveChanges:=False
    Else
        MsgBox "formdata workbook not found!"
    End If
