Hi,

 

I have created a Save and Close Macro (Below), So that the command button been assigned for the user to use before exiting

    ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True

 

What Im trying to prevent is the Close "X" button to be pressed and for user to stop save as and to use a MSG "Please use the save and Close button". is there a code that when you press "X" close button that you cant close unless you hit Save and close command button.

 

Thanks

 

Steve

Hi Steve,

In the ThisWorkbook module use this event:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

Cancel = True
' YOUR CODE GOES HERE

End Sub

Regards

Phil
