Hello,

when closing a document (which already exists in the base and which I open by clicking on it), vba passes through the AutoClose() procedure which has no arguments, and not in BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) as it does for a newly created document.

The problem I have in this case is that I can't properly cancel the current process, as can be done in BeforeClose(...) with Cancel = True.

Is there a solution to simulate a BeforeClore in an AutoClose without input arguments?

Best Regards,
David

For those who are interested, here is a solution to avoid this problem

You just have to put at the beginning of the AutoClose() procedure (procedure without input argument) the following line of code:
ActiveDocument.Saved = True

From there, for word the document is saved. This "replaces" a bit a Cancel=True that we find for example in the procedure BeforeClose(...) of a class or other.

However, you must now manage the closing, saving... of the document yourself, otherwise word closes it without asking anything.

Well, it's not perfect yet, but it gives us something that may help a bit

Sorry but the idea proposed before doesn't do all the work because word still takes over at the end, i.e. the process of closing word can't be stopped as it can be done with Cancel = true in BeforeClose(...)

So I still don't have a solution for this :-(
