    What am i missing to close user opened workbook?

    That's my code. The user clicks a button, selects a CSV file to copy the data from, then it automatically pastes the data to the original document. That all works beautifully.

    I've tried about 15 different things to close the user selected file. I've tried

    FileName.Close
    Workbooks.Close (FileName)

    I've tried activating the FileName file and doing a close. Tried about 8 other things on the internet. No idea. Please be possible and easy. Oh and I think I know how to do the SaveChanges False command... But if someone can help me and just throw that in anyway I'd appreciate it.

    Actually take that back.. It's not pasting the data now.. But that's something I can figure out. Thanks again!

    maybe it's the other changes I made...
    You should avoid using ".Select" and ".Activate" as it slows down the code.

    The thing with SheetNameHere is that the sheet name varies based on the name the user saves the csv values as. I may save it as RyanData while Joe might save it as readings.. Then the sheet name would be wrong for joe.

    The suggestion from Norie worked...

    And jindon, the On Error Resume was from an older code that worked before the Workbook would close. If someone tried to open the same workbook twice, it would give an error and crash the file. So that's why that was there. It was a work around that kept the files from crashing.
