[Guest]

Have written the following code for before close and before save

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Range("A13:G512").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A13"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortTextAsNumbers
Range("A13").Select
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Range("A13:G512").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A13"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortTextAsNumbers
Range("A13").Select

Is the file read only?

Found this:

[Method name] method of [object] class failed (Error 1004)
An external error occurred, such as a failure to read or write from a file.
The method cannot be used on the object. Possible reasons include the
following:

• An argument contains a value that isn't valid. A common cause of this
problem is an attempt to access an object that doesn't exist [for example,
you tried to use Workbooks(5) when there were only three workbooks open].
• The method cannot be used in the applied context. For example, some Range
object methods require that the range contain data; if the range doesn't
contain data, the method fails.
• An external error occurred, such as a failure to read or write from a
file.
For more information about the method, search Help for the method name.
