Open File - Need an warning to appear if file cannnot be found
I was wondering how i would go about adding a warning message that says "File
cannot be found" to the following code if the the test.xls file cannot be found? Sub filefile Workbooks.Open FileName:="C:\test\test.xls" MyVal = Application.Workbooks("test.xls").Sheets("Sheet1") .Range("A1").Value Workbooks("test.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False End Sub thanks in advance for your help! |

one way:-
Sub filefile() On Error GoTo errorroutine Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\test.xls" MyVal = Application.Workbooks("test.xls").Sheets("Sheet1") .Range("A1").Value Workbooks("test.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False Exit Sub errorroutine: msg = "File not found" MsgBox msg End Sub Mike "Brite" wrote: I was wondering how i would go about adding a warning message that says "File cannot be found" to the following code if the the test.xls file cannot be found?

Don't want false errors coming up. Add "On Error Goto 0" after the Workbooks.Open line. David G |
