VBA - How to Save and Close without prompt

Hello,

I have the following line of VBA code within one of my macros.


ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\LH1\" & flname, _
FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False

ActiveWorkbook.Close



The macro opens up a new file, copies data into it, saves it as a .CSV, and then closes the .CSV. This is the only command in the macro that saves a file.

I can't get it to stop prompting the user with a "Do you want to save the changes to xxx.csv".

Is there a way to answer that question within the macro so the user is not prompted?
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Maybe try:

Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\LH1\" & flname, _
FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
 
ActiveWorkbook.Close true
Or maybe:

Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\LH1\" & flname, _
FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.saved = true
ActiveWorkbook.Close

Hope that helps.
