Using Application.Quit in Excel VBA is supposed to initiate the default quit procedure, which includes prompting the user to saved any unsaved documents currently open in the application.
In testing across numerous systems (Excel 2010 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit), I discovered that some systems prompt the user to save, and some systems do not.
We checked the settings across the systems (including enabling all macros and disabling protected view) to no avail. Even using the same settings on the different systems did not force the one system to prompt the user to save their work before Excel shuts down.
It’s as if Application.DisplayAlerts has been set to False, but it hasn’t. We even tried the following lines of code:
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.Quit
On certain systems, even that still doesn’t prompt the user to saved unsaved documents. Excel just suddenly shuts down.
Any help solving this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Update in response to comments:
I double checked the Workbooks.Saved property for all the workbooks that were opened and unsaved and it was false just before Application.Quit, so that must not be the problem.
I also just ran a simple test. I opened a workbook, edited it and executed Application.Quit in the immediate window in VBA. Excel quit without prompting to save the unsaved file. This indicates to me that it is something about my Excel setup and has nothing to do with my application.
Disabling the Solver Add-In returns the normal behavior.
