Not Detecting Open Workbook Status - Odd??
Good Afternoon,
I originally was using a differnt Macro to detect if a workbook was closed. In the event the workbook was open, it would pop up an error message informing the user "workbook in use, try again later". After using it in an actual application, it failed so I wrote a basic one as shown below just to see if my sheet was even detecting the workbook open function - it does not. By looking at the code below, can you think of any ideas "why" my worksheet might not be detecting if another sheet is open? I also tried this on 2 blank workbooks just to make sure no other code was interfering - it failed there too. Thanks for your review and thoughts - Jenny B. Sub ChckOpenStatus() Dim wb As Workbook Dim wbopen As Boolean Dim wbfilename As String wbopen = False wbfilename = "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Desktop\Book2" For Each wb In Application.Workbooks If wb.Name = wbfilename Then wb.Open = True wb.Activate MsgBox "Workbook is in use. Try again later" End If Next If wbopen = False Then Workbooks.Open wbfilename End If End Sub |

wb.name won't include the path.
wb.fullname will include the path And I'd include the .xls, too--and maybe check for case differences: if lcase(wb.fullname) = lcase(wbfilename) then Jenny B. wrote: Good Afternoon, I originally was using a differnt Macro to detect if a workbook was closed.

Sorry to be a pest, but could I bother you to change the original code below to reflect your new thoughts? I made the edits and tried just a few moments ago, but got the something as before - nada - no detection. I just want to make sure I'm applying your code correctly and adding your suggestions exactly as you had intended. Thanks again - Jenny B.
