If there are changes to the workbook but the workbook doesn't appear in any other open windows, this argument specifies whether changes should be saved. If set to True, changes are saved to the workbook. If there is not yet a file name associated with the workbook, FileName is used. If FileName is omitted, the user is asked to supply a file name. |
| FileName | Optional | Variant | Saves changes under this file name. |
| RouteWorkbook | Optional | Variant | If the workbook doesn't need to be routed to the next recipient (if it has no routing slip or has already been routed), this argument is ignored.

If omitted, the user is asked whether the workbook should be sent. |
Remarks
Closing a workbook from Visual Basic doesn't run any Auto_Close macros in the workbook. Use the RunAutoMacros method to run the Auto_Close macros.
