Hi Ian,

Several ways. Here is a routine posted by John Green:

Sub IsWorkBookOpenDemo()
If IsWorkBookOpen("a.xls") = False Then Workbooks.Open "C:\a.xls"
If IsWorkBookOpen("b.xls") = False Then Workbooks.Open "C:\b.xls"
If IsWorkBookOpen("c.xls") = False Then Workbooks.Open "C:\c.xls"
End Sub

You need the function also

Function IsWorkBookOpen(sWB)
On Error GoTo NotOpen
Workbooks(sWB).Activate
IsWorkBookOpen = True
Exit Function
NotOpen:
IsWorkBookOpen = False
End Function
