Default Bug when macro tries to open allready opened file

Hey guys
After a horrible nights sleep, caused by spooky VBA macro-gosts that
are harassing me and chasing me through the bright and flowering fields

of Visual Basic and into the dark woods of soul-searching lack of
VBA-qualifications, I have no other choice than ask You to conjur one
of these small devils in mind, by helping me solve my VBA-problem:

I try - and manage (hurray!!) - to create a macro that copy a specified

range from one workbook, then open a specified new one and finaly paste

the data (pluss - of course - do some other stuff) into this
predefinied workbook/sheet.
My problem is that my macro has rather bad manners when I try to run
the macro in the case where this specified workbook is allready opened.

How can I design my macro to check out and possibly close the file in
case it is opened, and open if it is not?


Proberbly an easy task (for a VBAxorsist), but still...so is swimming -

if one can.


If one of You feel the calling to give me peace in mind, I will be
greatfully happy and thankful for ever.


Regards
Snoopy


I have listet the beginning of my VBA-macro:


Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"Y:\\UnderlagDummy.xls"
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("A1").Select
