Hi Peter

Thanks for the suggestion

I found that on the Acer machine the following code still failed in 
runtime with the same error for one VBE window (see below):

Sub A_CloseVBEWindowsTEST()

Dim W As Object
Dim iCounter As Integer

ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBE.MainWindow.SetFocus


Debug.Print "total No of windows = " & Application.VBE.Windows.Count
iCounter = Application.VBE.Windows.Count

For Each W In Application.VBE.Windows
     Debug.Print "W #" & iCounter & " is currently: " & (W.Caption)

     iCounter = iCounter - 1
Next W
End Sub

It produced this in the Immediate Window on another machine:

total No of windows = 9
W #9 is currently: Close VBE windows, ex Acer test on Mac TEMP.xlsm - 
Sheet1 (Code)
W #8 is currently: mClearVBECodeWindows (Code)
W #7 is currently: Project - VBAProject
W #6 is currently:
W #5 is currently: Properties
W #4 is currently: Object Browser
W #3 is currently: Watches
W #2 is currently: Locals
W #1 is currently: Immediate

I think it is failing on the "blank" window i.e. Window #6 on the Acer 
but am not sure - what is that window - I recognise the others?

Any help welcome

The answer to Garry's question is that I want to close the windows to 
tidy everything up - otherwise the Window you want is lost in a long 
list when you switch to another window.

Thanks

Tim
