I'm use this code to self-delete the file from my computer and I'm trying to close the excel application. the self-delete works, but excel remains open. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?

Code:
ThisWorkbook
    .Saved = True
    .ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
    Kill .FullName
    .Close 0
end with
application.quit
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Try this:
Code:
Sub KillMe()
    With ThisWorkbook
        If Len(Dir(.FullName)) Then
            .Saved = True
            On Error Resume Next
            .ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadOnly
            On Error GoTo 0
            SetAttr .FullName, vbNormal
            Kill .FullName
            .Close SaveChanges:=False
        End If
    End With
End Sub
