In 2003 the workbook would just close. But now the same code is re-opening the workbook. There are some lines afterwards and then the sub ends. When the sub ends, the workbook_open event gets fired for the closed workbook, even though there is no code that opens any workbooks. The debugger is almost useless, it is not reproducing the bug if I execute everything step by step, in fact everything works fine when I use the debugger.

I use

ActiveWorkbook.Close False

For closing the workbook (from an add-in).

Help much appreciated.

    Figured out how to get both. Workbook_beforeclose cancels the scheduled ontime event by calling:

    Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=Now(), Procedure:="Name", Schedule:=False

    but otherwise the ontime event gets executed.

    If the event does not get cancelled before beforeclose is called, the workbook will close then re-open to run the scheduled ontime event (because the workbook is opened so briefly that ontime doesn’t get a chance to run before I need to close it).
