Disable Save Prompt

Win XP Pro, Version 2002, Service Pack 3

Hello,

A coworker wishes to disable the save prompt when closing Excel 2010, despite my best discouragement. This is accomplished easily with one line of code:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Me.Saved = True
End Sub

When this code is placed in the normal template of Word 2010, it works marvelously for all new and existing Word documents. However, I cannot get it to behave similarly in Excel. Excel apparently does not come with a built-in global template, so "personal.xlsb" must be created in the XLStart folder. Despite my not being able to physically see this file (hidden files viewable), I believe it exists because it shows up in my Visual Basic project explorer. I got it there by "recording" a macro and storing it in "Personal Macro Workbook" per the advice of a web reference. When I place the above code in the "personal" template in the same manner as I did in Word, it does not function for new and existing files.

It may matter that IT has restricted employees from modifying files and folders under "Program Files", therefore I cannot create or save files directly to XLStart.

Thanks for reading,
