Sleeper: Close Workbook and via Close Excel

[MichaelH]

Hi Guys and Gals,

In the Close Event is there a way to tell if this is from the File / Close on the workbook, or from closing the Excel application?

The reason is, I have some code in an Add-In that is executed on the Close event, but I have found a known problem that during the Exel Application Close it unloads Add-Ins before all open spreadsheets are closed; thus depending on what other spreadsheets are being closed and timing, I get spurious fails.

I've already got code that checks that the Add-In exists before a module within it is called, but maybe the add-in unload is happening after that check returns the Add-In does exist.

Any ideas please?
thanks,
Michael

I haven't ever seen a method of determining if the App is quiting or just one file. You can get some application level events with a class module, but there isn't a Quit event.

Can you add some code to the Addin Uninstall event? Maybe post an attachment or some code that illustrates the specific problem you are getting.

Hi Jake,

I'm not sure what I could add to the Uninstall Event to stop the random fails.

The Bug I think is casuing this is described at http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;831200 . The final sentence in the Cause section apears to be what I am suffering: Because of this problem, COM Add-Ins can be prematurely unloaded before the actual application termination.

If this is correct, then I am trying to call a module in the Addin whilst that Addin is being uninstalled (but was there a nono-second ago).

Any other ideas?

thanks

Michael
