Possible bug?

[funkymonkUK]

Hi I got Excell 2000

I have a piece of code which opens a workbook(a) and copys selected sheets to Workbook(B). I then close workbook (A) but do not want the "do you want to save..." display to pop up so I wrote the following code to stop it from displaying the save option.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

If i step through my code as soon as I get to the close bit and move my mouse over application.dis its telling me that it is true. which of coarse make the save option pop up. so I wrote this code in case I turned the displayalerts off some where else.

If Application.DisplayAlerts = True Then Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

when I step through it picks it up as being true and does the then bit and then carrys on as it still being true. it seems to be ignoring the fact that I had made it false.

I know this works as I have other workbooks that do a similar thing.

Any Ideas?

When you step through the code, each line of code is like a separate sub.
So when you set it to false and stop, excel changes it back to true. This
is not the behavior if you run it normally.

A better way to avoid the original problem is

ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

and avoid the DisplayAlerts

still seems to be asking me to save as well as telling that there is large amount of data on the clip board. is there a way to stop that

[Tom Ogilvy]

If you copied a range doing

application.CutCopyMode = False

will empty the clipboard. Do this before the code that evokes the message

Or you can do

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
' code the evokes the message
Application.Displayalerts = True
