    Macro to close/open data validation workbook

    I've created a file that contains a list of valid data (validdata.xls)that will be used for a series of other files (info1.xls).

    I also created a macro which is triggered upon opening info1.xls that will automatically open and hide validdata.xls.

    I would like to create a macro that closes the validdata.xls file w/o prompting the user to save changes.

    Right now, everything seems to work, except that upon closing info1.xls, it will ask the user if he/she would like to save changes validdata.xls.

    Is there any way around this prompt?

    Hello catccc,

    You can set the argument "SaveChanges" to False to prevent the prompt from being displayed.
