Life after Document_Close event 1

[sheila11]

Hello everyone,

I have some clean up code in my Document_Close() procedure. My problem is that Word shows a dialogbox asking the user "Do you want to save changes to the document" AFTER this Document_Close event, and this dialogbox has a "Cancel" option in it.

If user Cancels the dialogbox, the closing of the document is cancelled. But my clean up code has already run, and my document is no longer in usable condition.

How can I prevent this situation from occurring?

Any thoughts/pointers/advice?

TIA,
Sheila

One solution may be:

DisplayAlerts = False

at the beginning of your _Close event. This way you will not get any messages.

Would that help?

Have fun.

Thanks, Andy. That will work for me.. because the site to which users save the document asks the user if they wish to save the changes or not, and that 'alert' thrown by Word is unnecessary in this case.

Thank you very much.
