IN MACROS HOW TO IGNORE ANY FILE.
 

Here's one that is shorter and doesn't use Goto.

Function IsWorkbookOpen(WBName As String) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
IsWorkbookOpen = CBool(Len(Workbooks(WBName).Name))
End Function

similar to Bob's :

Private Function IsFileOpen(strFile As String) As Boolean

Dim aName As String

On Error GoTo NotOpen:
aName = Workbooks(strFile).Name
IsFileOpen = True
GoTo FunctionEnd:
NotOpen:
IsFileOpen = False
FunctionEnd:

End Function

Just try opening but handling any errors

On Error Resume Next
Set oWB = Workbooks.Open("C:\MyTest\myFile.xls")
On Error Goto 0
If oWB Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "File doen't exist here"
End If

In Excel Macros, if particiular file specified is not available in the
harddisk or any other source while opening i always get a error message
(debug mode). How is it possible to ignore without debugging the
program
every time?

Pl. Help if any other alternatives are available..
