Closing Excel Application using VBA

Question

I have used the following without success. The active workbook closes, indeed, but the excel window remains open.

Application.ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:         


        

Answer 1

I think your problem is that it's closing the document that calls the macro before sending the command to quit the application.

Your solution in that case is to not send a command to close the workbook. Instead, you could set the "Saved" state of the workbook to true, which would circumvent any messages about closing an unsaved book. Note: this does not save the workbook; it just makes it look like it's saved.

ThisWorkbook.Saved = True

and then, right after

Application.Quit
