Delete open workbook

  Asked By: Lucina    Date: Feb 18    Category: MS Office    Views: 748
  

I have the following task to do:

1. From a template I make pre-filled testcertificate as workbook
2. Test people opens the workbook and fill out with testresults
3. Workbook is saved as pdf
4. Workbook is deleted

I would like 3. and 4. to be made from a commandbutton in the
workbook, but can't think of how to delete the open workbook from
itself.

Can anyone give me a clue ?

If the workbook  has never been saved as an xls file then closing it
without saving it means it won't exist and so it will not have to be
deleted!
The following vba code should quit excel completely:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.Quit

This next bit should close a workbook without saving:

Workbooks("BOOK1.XLS").Close SaveChanges:=False

or if you don't know the name of the workbook:

Thisworkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

I read it as it is not possible to delete  the workbook  from inside
itself (as it has been saved - so it can be used by testpeople)

Solution must be to control the task  from another workbook, and fx. use
the Kill statement.
