If the file is already open, you only need the file name.

Hi Jim,
You answered this ages ago, I know, but how could I adapt your code to
look
for the file in our main server. Would I include the filepath as:

set wbk = workbooks("\\servername\serversubdirectory\MyBook. xlsx") ?

Oh... and thanks :)

My prefered method...This one opens the book if it is not open...

dim wbk as workbook

on error resume next
set wbk = workbooks("MyBook.xls")
on error goto 0

if wbk is nothing then
msgbox "Opening the book now"
set wbk = workbooks.Open("C:\MyBook.xls")
end if
