Hmm. I took a closer look at that site and noticed that the coder has not
even declared the variable wkbNewBook, and the code is evidently written to
run in Excel VBA. 

However, in your code, assuming that xlBook is an Excel.WorkBook object, you
should be able to write this...

' close spreadsheet
    Set xlSheetProductionPlan = Nothing
    Set xlSheetBOMs = Nothing
    
    xlBook.Visible = True
    xlBook.Save
    xlBook.Close

    Set xlApp = Nothing
    Set xlBook = Nothing

MsgBox "Export Complete.", vbExclamation
 
End Sub

This looks like a possible solution...
