Hello, I have a database(xlsb) to which a query connects and dumps the resulting table on another file(xlsm) and I'm trying to develop a piece fo code that, upon closing the database(xlsb) file it automatically updates the dependant file(xlsm). I've tried using that same file (xlsb) but it kep throwing errors, I then precceeded to add to the code a line that "saved as" the xlsb file and then connected the dependant file(xlsm) to this new file that is always created. This still doesnt work as when I open the dependant file(xlsm) the data is not updated. How can I make this code work? Following is the current code.

Rich (BB code):
Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(cancel As Boolean)
    
    CarryOn = MsgBox("Atualizar planilhas dependentes? (Pode levar um minuto)", vbYesNo, "Atualizar planilhas dependentes")
    If CarryOn = vbYes Then
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        'Application.EnableEvents = False
        ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        "R:path\file.xlsb" _
        , FileFormat:=50
        Dim strFilename As String: strFilename = "R:path\file.xlsm"
        Dim GPSMANUT As Workbook
        Set GPSMANUT = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=strFilename)
        GPSMANUT.RefreshAll
        GPSMANUT.Connections("Consulta - Base de dados").Refresh
        GPSMANUT.Connections("Consulta - Apoio$_FilterDatabase").Refresh
        GPSMANUT.Save
        GPSMANUT.Close
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        'Application.EnableEvents = True
        ThisWorkbook.Save
        Beep
        MsgBox "Planilhas dependentes atualizadas!"
    End If
End Sub


Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
I think it is likely due to the use of "Workbook_BeforeClose"
Try using "Workbook_Close"

That ain't it chief, the code runs, opens the .xlsm even, but the lines that are supposed to update the queries aren't doing their job
