cheesestain Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 _Excel_Close is set to False for save changes but it doesn't seem to be working. Excel is stuck at the save yes/no/cancel prompt.

cheesestain Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Still having trouble. it looks like this line is the culprit. $oExcel.Run("MB51_Extract") If i comment it out _Excel_Close works as expected and doesn't save. Any ideas why running the macro will show the save yes/no/cancel prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The macro logs into SAP, exports data to .xls, copy data from .xls to the .xlsm. The AutoIt script stores some data to an array. At this point I have what I need and don't need the .xlsm saved to that's why I want to close without saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Another idea is to save the workbook with a new name to a temporary location and then delete the file.
