Okay, I'm back. I have an AutoCAD VBA routine that opens the selected Excel spread sheet,gathers the necessary information to create the drawing and then closes Excel. Tha problem is that Excel presents me with the "do you wanmt to save the changes?" dialog and won't close until I click on "NO". The code I am using to close is ObjExcel.Quit Set ObjExcel = Nothing Set ObjExcelSheet = Nothing Isn't there a way to tell Excel to simply close without saving? Thanks. Dave. K
