Cancel an application exit from VBA?

Helmekki,

As long as a file is open in Excel, you can put the following code in the
"ThisWorkbook" module and it worked for me - it keeps both the file and the
Application from closing:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True: Call YourOtherCodeHere
End Sub

Note: You will need to call some other code or add some code to the above or
you and/or your user will never be able to exit. To work around that, check
out: Application.EnableEvents = False/True.

If the event declaration has a parameter named 'Cancel', set that
variable to True. Otherwise you can't cancel individual events.
However, you can events from being triggered at all with

Application.EnableEvents = False

Be sure to set it back to true at the appropriate place in code.
