Check if Any workbooks are open
 

How do I check to see if ANY workbooks are open before running a macro? I

You can count the number of open workbooks
MsgBox Application.Workbooks.Count
Note that personal.xls is a workbook which (if it exists) is hidden. You did

Maybe you can just check for an active workbook?

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
If ActiveWorkbook Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "no visible workbook"
Else
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Name & " is active!"
End If
End Sub
