Sub CloseCodePanes()
Dim i As Integer
On Error Resume Next
For i = Application.VBE.CodePanes.Count To 1 Step -1
Application.VBE.CodePanes(i).Window.Close
Next i
End Sub
It's quite erratic and sometimes closes everything and other times leaves one pane/window open. Anyways, I have two questions based on this code:
1. Is it possible to modify it to close all panes, except the pane that contains this macro?
2. Is it possible to have this macro trigger when the VBE opens (like an auto_open macro)?

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.
Sub CloseAllVBEWindows()
Dim i As Long
With Application.VBE.Windows
For i = .Count To 1 Step -1
With .Item(i)
If .Type = 0 Then ' 0 = vbext_wt_CodeWindow
.Close
End If
End With
Next i
End With
End Sub
By the way, the free add-in MZTools adds a menu option to close all VBA windows (optionally keeping the active window open).
2) I'm not sure it would be desirable to close all code windows each and every time the Visual Basic Editor is opened. You could create a separate macro to open the VBE and close all code windows:

Thanks for linking me here Rudi, as per I was going to link the source query back to here if I got a reply...(which I will be doing now)
This has been very helpful and informative. I'll probably put the macro in my personal WB with a keyboard shortcut.
It turns out that the window that was being left open was a "form" design window so that probably explains that problem in my case.
I've done some hunting but can't find a list of the windows "types" so I can add the "form" window for closing as well.
Again, appreciate the help
First time to this forum and will definitely be back.

Make sure that you set a reference to the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3 library in Tools > References in the Visual Basic Editor.
Press F2 to activate the Object Browser.
Type vbext_WindowType in the search box and press Enter.
You'll see a list of the possible window types:

A userform is probably of type vbext_wt_Designer = 1.

The original question was about closing all code panes. The code posted above does close all code module windows, including standard modules, class modules and userform modules, but not the userforms themselves.
The code that you posted - thanks! - closes the userform windows too.
Sub CloseAllVBEWindows()
Dim i As Long
With Application.VBE.Windows
For i = .Count To 1 Step -1
With .Item(i)
If .Type <= 1 Then ' 0 = vbext_wt_CodeWindow, 1 = vbext_wt_Designer
.Close
End If
End With
Next i
End With
End Sub
I see what you mean. Because i always used my codepanes in fullwindow i hadn't realized till now that the userform designer and userform codepane were separate that way.
