Need to close subprojects without Save prompt

[tbone]

Project doesn't really close a subproject file when you close its
window, either in the UI or via VBA. As a result, when closing the
master project file, a save prompt appears for each of these
(apparently closed) subprojects.

I need a way to prevent this behavior, because I have code that loads
one or more subproject files temporarily, in order to access some
information therein. Since this is done "under the covers", I don't
want users pestered with save prompts for files they didn't open.

I don't see a way to force a subproject file to be closed without
prompting. Does anybody have any suggestions?

thanks

Hi tbone,

You write that you are loading subprojects temporarily by code. Do you need
to save your master project? If not you can insert sub project read-only with
“(R/O)†after the project name and close your temporary master project
without saving.

Example:
ConsolidateProjects Filenames:="<>\Projekt_01(R/O)", NewWindow:=False,
HideSubtasks:=True
….
FileSaveAs Name:="<>\TemporaryMaster", FormatID:=""

I use that to get a print view for some projects and their external links
and don't get any annoying prompts.

Regards
Barbara
