I'm using a macro to close Excel, but then I get the "Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close........" message. I went to the system properties - Advanced - Error Reporting and clicked the Disable Error Reporting radio button and also UNchecked the "notifiy me when critical errors occur". I am still getting the messages though when I run my macro to close Excel. This is Excel 2007 running on Windows XP Pro.
