Default Runtime Error - Subscript out of range despite On Error statement

I based the following code on Bob Philips' code from June 30,2006 but I get a
"Subscript out of range" error at "Set lwOpenWorkbook = Workbooks(lcFile)"
only when the lcFile is not open. Which is what the On Error statement should
cover, right? What might be wrong and cause a runtime error despite having
the On Error statement in place???


Public Sub test()

Dim lwOpenWorkbook As Workbook

lcFolder = "G:\Tables"
lcFile = "Projects.xls"

lcCurrWorkbook = ThisWorkbook.Name

On Error Resume Next
Set lwOpenWorkbook = Workbooks(lcFile)
On Error GoTo 0

If Not lwOpenWorkbook Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Workbook is already open"
Else
Set lwOpenWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(lcFolder & "\" & lcFile)
End If

Workbooks(lcCurrWorkbook).Activate

End Sub
