Default Check for open workbooks

oxlApp.workbooks.count

or


cnt = 0
for each wkbk in oxlApp.workbooks
if wkbk.windows(1).Visible then
cnt = cnt + 1
end if
Next

Hi,

I'm building a database and part of it launches an excel workbook.

Before closing my workbook I'd like to check if there are any other
workbooks open (that the user may be using). If there are no workbooks

open
I'd like to completely close Excel, otherwise just close my workbook.

The snag is, I won't know the file names of the other workbooks.

Is there any way you can check for open workbooks without knowing there

name?

Thanks
