Hi,

I have a task which involves creating new books, doing various things with VBA which work fine.

The issue I have is that I then have a number of workbooks open with "Book" at the the beginning of the name. Of course I can manually close them but I am looking for a quicker solution.

Can someone assist with VBA to close all open Workbooks with "Book" at the start of the name, and without asking if the user wants to save these workbooks.

Thanks for any help.

Mark
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
You could use something like this:

VBA Code:
Sub closeBooks()
   Dim wb As Workbook
   For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
      If UCase$(Left$(wb.Name, 4)) = "BOOK" Then wb.Close False
   Next wb
End Sub
