Hi Randy,

Thanks for your insight.
I will take that into consideration.

If you use GETOBJECT() you can grab a reference to an already-running version, which may have workbooks open that are not related to your purpose. Running the above code would close the user's work without saving!

>>>If you pass .F. as the first parameter of Close() as in Workbook.Close(.F.) you should avoid the dialog. Same is true for Word documents.
