.Save, .Activate, .Close not working in Macro

This is a weird problem, I'm hoping you guys can help. I've written a pretty basic macro to pull information from one workbook to the other. This part works perfectly fine, but any .Activate, or .Close function does not work. Application.Quit does not work as well (although that is not what I want it to do). I at first thought it was a problem with our remote management software, but a simple macro of "ActiveWorkbook.Close False" does in fact work all alone.

Here is the code:

Sub update()

' update Macro
' Macro recorded 8/25/2011 by jstephens

Dim cashsheet As Workbook
Dim cashsum As Workbook
Dim rangefinder As Range
Dim date1 As String
Dim row As Integer
Dim prop As String
Dim loopnum As Integer
loopnum = 3

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set cashsum = ThisWorkbook

Workbooks.Open ("G:\CASH SHEETS\CASH SHEETS 2011\Texas\0911_Texas.xls")
Set cashsheet = ActiveWorkbook


date1 = cashsheet.Sheets(1).Range("A6").Value
cashsum.Sheets(1).Range("A2") = date1

Do

prop = cashsum.Sheets(1).Range("B" & loopnum).Value
If prop = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
cashsheet.Sheets(prop).Activate
Set rangefinder = Columns(4).Find(What:="stophere", After:=Cells(3, 4), LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
        :=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
        False, SearchFormat:=False)
row = rangefinder.row
row = row - 1
cashsum.Sheets(1).Range("C" & loopnum) = cashsheet.Sheets(prop).Range("G12").Value
cashsum.Sheets(1).Range("D" & loopnum) = cashsheet.Sheets(prop).Range("D" & row).Value * -1
cashsum.Sheets(1).Range("E" & loopnum) = cashsheet.Sheets(prop).Range("E" & row).Value
cashsum.Sheets(1).Range("F" & loopnum) = cashsheet.Sheets(prop).Range("F" & row).Value
cashsum.Sheets(1).Range("G" & loopnum) = cashsheet.Sheets(prop).Range("G" & row).Value
loopnum = loopnum + 1
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Application.Quit


End Sub

Any suggestion on code optimization is appreciated, but I really need the opened workbook to close.

Hello jstephens,

Welcome to the Forum!

With the exception of Application.Quit I don't see .Save, .Activate, or .Close in the code you provided. On potential problem I do see is that you exit the Sub with restoring screen updating.

If prop = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

Write a Sub to re-enable screen updating, and change your macro to re-enable screen updating before exiting. Rerun the macro and see if the changes help your problem.
