[Tutor] Invoking Excel Macro

[Mike Hansen]

I guess I'm confused. You mentioned that it still throws and error 
while trying to save the workbook. hmmm.... Do you get this error when 
trying to close Excel in the macro? Many times, Excel pops up a dialog 
box when closing it if there's still a workbook open even if it has 
been saved. That's where the Application.DisplayAlerts comes in. So I 
may have been a little off on the part of saving. It might be the 
closing of Excel. Other than that, I'm stumped.
