Closing Workbooks Formula

[bodhisatvaofboogie]

Windows("Book1").Close savechanges:=False
Windows("Book2").Activate
Cells.Select
Selection.Cut
Windows("Book2").ActivateNext
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Windows("Book2").Close savechanges:=False

This is the formula I am using to close my extra workbooks. Is there a way
I can do this without the specific ("Book2") or ("Book1")??? Because that
makes it so the only way this macro will run is by closing down excel and
restarting it. I wanted to do the same thing without naming specific
workbooks. SO, the macro opens a total of three workbooks:

"Original Name of File being opened"
"Workbook1"
"Workbook2"

So how do I jumb between workbooks and activate them without naming them
specifically then ultimately close them. THANKS!!!!

You can use this code at the end of the macro

For Each w In Workbooks
If w.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
w.Close savechanges:=True
End If
Next w

I hope this helps.

Well I thought about using that, BUT, that would close down everything else.
So just for a hypothetical situation:

person A is working in Excel. Person A wishes to run this macro and not
bother with closing down current work. --> This is not possible due to the
current limitations of the macro. If I were to make the changes in it so all
other workbooks would close then the stuff person A didn't want closed would
be shut down anyway. SO, how do I just shut down the ones I want? How about
this?

Is there a way to change the name of the workbook with a code, because if I
could do that, then I would just plug that into the macro at all appropriate
spots, then when it comes time to close down the extras, I can input the
names that I have them changed to. So how do I change the names of the
workbook with a code?

THANKS!!!

I don't understand why you have to restart xl in the first place. Maybe
we can fix this.

You can store the names in a varible, and then close the workbooks.
After you open them you can store the name.
Bk1= activeworkbook.name

So you want to close all workbooks, except the ones you don't want to close
??
For Each WB In Application.Workbooks.
If MsgBox("Close " & WB.Name & " ?","Confirm",vbYesNo)=vbYes Then
WB.Close True
Next
