close other workbook - close excel - do not save

We have a data work book that is used to copy data from Access.

The data is linked to a second workbook
We use VBA code to save the second workbook and break the links to the data work book
We want to close the data workbook without saving, after the code has run

How do I close the Data workbook from within the code on the second workbook?
I do not want any alerts.
It would also be ok to quit excel with no alerts as the second workbook was saved earlier

We are on the right track
except when I use Workbooks().Close SaveChanges:=False
it activates the workbook but does not close it and the code does not continue
I should mention that the workbook we are trying to close is an .XLS
