I have a macro that is supposed to Close the open Workbook, and shutdown Excel. It closes the Workbook OK, but does not shutdown Excel.

The code is below, what is wrong?

I am running Excel 2010, on Windows 10 Pro.

Code for Savit

Sub Savit()
'
' Savit Macro
' Saves and closes the workbook
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+s
'
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With ThisWorkbook
.Save
.Close
End With
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.Quit
End Sub

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Are you getting any messages or alerts?

Welcome to the Board!

If you close the workbook, it cannot get to the lines of code after that!
So just remove the:
Code:
.Close
line, and it will work the way you want.

See my reply above.
By closing it before quitting, you are essentially terminating the code running at that point (if the workbook has been closed, it cannot continue to run any code posted below that line!).
Quitting Excel will also close the workbook, so you do not need an explicit command for that.

Thank You, how simple. Looking me right in the face and still couldn't see it.
