Hi
I have a VBS script which instructs MS Money to run and export two reports and save the data to CSV files.
I have Office Home 365 on a modern Windows 10 PC.
It ran fine until a recent update of Excel but now the SendKeys command to 'Save and Close' the CSV file is not recognized so the script gets lost sending the subsequent commands to the unclosed file.
The previous command I was using to close the CSV file was on line 96 was:

wShell.SendKeys "%{F4}", True 'Closes the Excel application with CSV file

This no longer close the file.

The same command is used on line 112 to close the second report.

I can upload the full script if further context is required but am not sure how to attach as this is my first post here.

Any help on what ammended instruction is required for the latest version of Excel would be greatly apppreciated.

Kind regards

Ian

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
