I am trying to disable to Save prompt that appears when a document is closed
in Word 2003. I have found several code samples on the MSDN website, none of
which seem to work. I am writing this code in the Document_Close event. It
could be that the code is correct, but it should be placed somewhere else.
Below are the three variations I have tried to no avail, any assistance would
be greatly appreciated.

ThisDocument.Close SaveChanges :=wdDoNotSaveChanges
Documents(ThisDocument).Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNoSaveChanges
ThisDocument.Close (Word.wdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges)

Again, this is to disable the Save prompt when closing the document.

Just try Thisdocument.Close SaveChanges:=False

Thanks, that version works...but only when I am debugging and stepping
through the Document_Close() event line by line. I have even put a msgbox
right before the Close event is called to verify that I am there. When I
debug, the message displays, then the document closes. When I run a Close
command from within Word, I still receive the prompt to save.

Do you know what other event could be interfereing here?

Try this Thisdocument.Saved=True

This should trick Word into thinking the document has been saved and should
not prompt you to save.

I played with this and it will work on existing documents. It doesn't work
if the document has never been saved before.
