Checking the existence of a reference workbook
I have a workbook ("C") which references other subroutines of another
workbook ("R"). When C is opened, R should have been automatically opened. If somehow R cannot be opened, is it possible to write code to check the existence of R? Seems that a IsWorkBookExists macro cannot do the job. Thanks for your advice in advance. Frederick Chow |

Checking the existence of a reference workbook
If C references R, opening R will cause C to be opened as well.

Checking the existence of a reference workbook
Seems not possible, if workbooks C1, C2, C3.... Cn all reference workbook R,
then did you mean that if R is opened, then C1, C2, C3.... , Cn will be opened simultaneously?? By the way, the issue is that in case the required R does not exist, I wish that such error could be handled by my own code located in any C's, not by the Excel compiler itself. Is it possible?

Checking the existence of a reference workbook
When a workbook references another workbook, the referenced
workbook will be automatically opened when the referencing workbook is opened. The opposite is not true. If a referenced workbook is opened, those workbooks that reference that workbook will not be opened. Thus, using your example, opening any C workbook will cause R to open, but opening R will not cause any C workbook to open. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Frederick Chow" wrote in message ...

Checking the existence of a reference workbook
OK, that's what I know of.
Anyway, what happened if R did not exist and C is opened? If errors occured, is it possible to handle by VBA code located in C? This is my main question.
