You will need to trap for the Personal.xls workbook which will always be
open if the user has one. Sub CountWBOpen() Dim wb As Workbook Dim x As Integer x = Workbooks.Count For Each wb In Workbooks If wb.name = "Personal.xls" Then x = x - 1 End If Next If x 1 Then MsgBox ("more than 1") Exit Sub Else MsgBox ("only 1") End If End Sub Mike F "Stephen C" wrote in message ...
