Close and Don't save

25 New Member
This may be a very simple question, but its got me stuck.

I am trying to write a macro for excel and a part of it opens another workbook, manipulates and extracts data from it and then closes the workbook, without saving. I can get it to open and do everything with the data, and I can get it to close. My problem is that when it closes the pop up "Do you want to save..." comes up. How do i get it to always select "No" without me having to push it?

Thanks in advance.

This might be of help

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. application.displayalerts=false
  2. 'write here the code for closing the book
  3. application.displayalerts=true
make sure to reactivate them always, you dont want your excel not to show any alert again.

I have an ASP page that is sent a file location as a parameter. It opens this file, loads the ADODB.Stream object and does a binary write to the page forcing the download dialog to appear. This all works fine. If the user selects "Open" or "Cancel", the window closes, which is the desired behavior. If they select "Save", the location dialog shows up, they save the file and the window remains open. I've tried a number of things to get...

When my app attempts to save a particular file in the same VB session, I got an error message . If I close the app and run again, the file is overwritten ok. I guess I need to close the file handle somehow to avoid this error but don't know how. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill

I have two questions here: (1) what is the difference of close form and close table? (2) How "Prompt" works I used close form macro in my database. I hope when a user close the form, he/she will be asked if he/she wants to save the form (actually, I hope the user could decide if he or she want to add the new data to a database). I chose "prompt" in "Save" option of close macro. But there is no difference if I chose "yes" in "save"...

I am trying to figure out how I can trap the Closing Event that occurs when a user attempts to close the window by clicking on the red"X". I tried this code which I found online but nothing happens. What do I need to do to trap and give the ability to save changes before the window closes? Thanks, Ron

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
