Macro to open specific File

[Guest]

Is there a way to Create a macro to save current file and then Open a new
file, by specifying one for sure.

Try something like

Sub AAA()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\whatever.xls"
End Sub

Will this completely close the file before opening a new one? or do I need to
manually do that?

It doesn't close that other workbook.

But with the code in a third workbook:

Sub AAA()
ActiveWorkbook.close savechanges:=true
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\whatever.xls"
End Sub

(if the code is in the workbook that gets closed, then as soon as you close the
workbook, the macro will stop--so it won't open the "whatever.xls" workbook.)

One way around that is to open the new workbook and then close the other
workbook with the code in it.

Sub AAA()
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\whatever.xls"
ThisWorkbook.close savechanges:=true
End Sub
