Date to close file

[PSM]

I'm using the date code below to close the file but just figured that i
the file is renamed this will fail. Is there code that will close th
workbook no matter what the filename to overcome this ?


Dim exdate As Date
exdate = "07/12/2009"
If Date > exdate Then
MsgBox ("Sorry this spreadsheet has expired please use lates
version")
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks("Master 09 17.50 VAT.XLS").Close
Exit Sub
End I

It might help to name the workbook when it is opened and then use that
variable when closing. Something like this in your code:


dim wrkNewWorkbook as Workbook

'after you open workbook

wrkNewWorkbook = Activeworkbook.Name

'then after you've done whatever you need to do with the file you can
close it

Workbooks(wrkNewWorkbook).Close Savechanges:=false

Or you can just use:

Activeworkbook.Close Savechanges:=false

maybe?
