Group,

I need to close a second workbook when the primary workbook closes. I've tried the following macro:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Workbooks(propRestran).Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub

When closing the primary workbook (where the macro is housed), the second workbook (named 'propRestran') does not become active and it does not close. What is it that I'm missing or doing wrong?

In advance, thanks for your assistance.

Don
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
It might be you're missing speech marks and the file extension. Also, you shouldn't need to activate the workbook to close it. Try:
Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Workbooks("propRestran.xlsx").Close
End Sub
Adjust string in blue as required.
