Hi, I am trying to open and save and excel file in the background without the user being involved. I have opened the correct excel page and hidden it which works fine but when I attempt to save it I either get this file is open you can't save an open file or a save box pops up saying re-name the file.

I simply want it to save as if you just clicked save no asking about overwriting etc just save the damn thing!

Cheers in advance

Dan

After much frustration trying to resolve the Workbook Save on Close without prompts, I seem to have found the cause.

Thoroughly check all your VBA coding and all your formula as well as Named Range errors.
Once cleaned up, the Workbook Save on Close works without having to disable alerts or such.

Found it! For anyone who would like it:

App.DisplayAlerts = false;
workbook.save();
workbook.Close();
App.DisplaAlerts = True;
App.Quit();
