When I open Workbook2 (WB2) I need for it to check and see if Workbook1 (WB1)
exists and if so, I need for data to be updated. I have the following code;

On Error Resume Next
Workbooks.Open ("C:\path\wb1"), Password:="xxx"
Sheets("sheet1").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("wb2.xls").Activate
Sheets("data").Select
Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Workbooks("wb1.xls").Close True
Kill ("C:\path\WB1.xls")
On Error goto 0

It works fine if WB1 exists. However if WB1 does not exist it removes all
the data in WB2 Sheets("data"). I need for it to somehow quit all together
when it errors on
"Workbooks.Open ("C:\path\wb1"), Password:="xxx"" when the workbook does
not exist.

Any help is very much appreciated.
