Sure, try
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Workbooks.Open FileName:="C:Updates.xls"
End Sub

Note - you only need one backslash (the board posts two for some reason).

Regards,

You can record that macro. Store it in the Workbook, then rename it. Here's the code:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:WINDOWSDesktopMyfile.xls"
End Sub
