Open Workbook
I want to be able to perform actions conditional on if a specific workbook is
open or not - so, if it isn't already open, I want to open it, but if it is open, I want to just activate it....would it be something like: If Workbooks("Updated Responder Data.xls").Open = False Then Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ ActiveSheet.Range("I1").Value & "Updated Responder Data.xls" End If If Workbooks("Updated Responder Data.xls").Open = True Then Windows("Updated Responder Data.xls").Activate End If Thank you ahead of time!! |

Open Workbook
Sub demo()
Dim wb As Workbook Dim s As String Dim is_it_open As Boolean s = "Book1" is_it_open = False For Each wb In Workbooks If wb.Name = s Then is_it_open = True End If Next MsgBox (is_it_open) End Sub This sets a boolean variable based upon the open state of Book1.xls. Once you have established its value, you can use it for conditional logic. -- Gary''s Student "Matt" wrote: I want to be able to perform actions conditional on if a specific workbook is open or not - so, if it isn't already open, I want to open it, but if it is open, I want to just activate it....would it be something like: If Workbooks("Updated Responder Data.xls").Open = False Then Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ ActiveSheet.Range("I1").Value & "Updated Responder Data.xls" End If If Workbooks("Updated Responder Data.xls").Open = True Then Windows("Updated Responder Data.xls").Activate End If Thank you ahead of time!! |
