Opening linked spreadsheet file in Access
How do I test for an Excel file being available (not open by a user) in
Access VBA? My code opens a series of Excel files, one at a time, but when I encounter a file already open/in use, I need to be able to trap it. Currently I get a runtime error and have to quit. -- Art |

Opening linked spreadsheet file in Access
Thanks for those links, but now I need to do the same thing in an Excel
macro. The "IsFileOpen" function apparently has no equivalent in Excel. I don't want to have to link 100+ spreadsheet files into Access, so this process must be done within Excel. Ideas?

The code is written for XL. That is what the XL: and XL2000 and XL2002
means in the title. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Art" wrote in message ... Thanks for those links, but now I need to do the same thing in an Excel macro.
