Hi,

I have a workbook that may be used in "shared workbook" mode by users when it is open. I am trying to work out the code so that it cannot stay in this mode when the workbook is closed.

This is the code I have so far:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

If ActiveWorkbook.MultiUserEditing Then GoTo WrongMode

WrongMode:
MsgBox ("Please come out of shared workbook mode before closing the file")

ActiveWorkbook.ExclusiveAccess

End Sub

Is it possible to amend it so it selects "yes" to exclusive access? essentially I don't want a user to be able to close it in sharedworkbook mode. Otherwise other code will not work when the file is opened.

Thanks in advance for your help

Sheila
