Write a Macro in VBA - excel AFTER the user has closed the Excel

Question

I need to write a macro in Excel VBA, that terminates a process running in windows tasks AFTER the excel has been closed down. I tried it doing this on event workbook_BeforeClos

Answer 1

Take control of the user decision. This is simple code which could be improved if needed.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
'take control of what user can do:
If MsgBox("Do you want to save and exit?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        ThisWorkbook.Save
        'call your MacroCloseProcess here
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Else
    Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

*EDIT * Better and more elegant option:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
'take control of what user can do:
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Dim filePath As Variant

    If Len(ThisWorkbook.Path) > 0 Then
        'has been already saved therefore just ask
        'this would be rarely meet, only whan call for the first time
        'or if this solution was placed in class module for all doc

        If MsgBox("Do you want to save and exit?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
            ThisWorkbook.Save
            'call your MacroCloseProcess here
            MsgBox "exit" '<-- to remove, kept for tests
        Else
            Cancel = True
        End If
    Else
        'document was not saved before- show standard file dialog

        filePath = Application.GetSaveAsFilename()
        If VarType(filePath) = vbString Then

            ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=filePath
            'call your MacroCloseProcess here
            MsgBox "exit" '<-- to remove, kept for tests

        Else
            Cancel = True
        End If
    End If
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
