    Try this please:

    Option Explicit
    
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim Msg As String
    Dim ireply As Integer
        If Not Me.Saved Then
            Msg = "Do you want to Save this book? "
            ireply = MsgBox(Msg, vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel)
            Select Case ireply
                Case vbYes
                    Me.Save
                    Call SDA 
                Case vbNo
                    Me.Saved = True
                Case vbCancel
                    Cancel = True
                    MsgBox "Cancelling...workbook close event!"
                    Exit Sub
              End Select
        End If        
    End Sub
    
    • Output dialogs:

    enter image description here

    The usual structure of a messagebox cancel event wrap is as follows:

    '--Display MessageBox
        Dim intMsg as integer
        intMsg = MsgBox(strPrompt, vbYesNo, strTitle) 
        '--Check pressed button
        If iRet = vbNo Then
            MsgBox "NO!"
        Else
            MsgBox "Yes!"
        End If
