Default VBA Assistance needed to test for open file in a different direct

Good day,

I need assistance w/ a sub that will test to see if a file is open, but the
file is in a different directory.

I found a similar issue in the online post database, but seems to only work
for files in the same directory. I need assistance to customise this sub for
my directory path. Please advise

My file is located at:
Q:\BUDGETS PROGRAM LEVEL\QA DIRECT LABOR\LONG BEACH\LONG
BEACH_JQA\QA_Accounts_Overview2007.xls

I've tried this following code, but regardless if file is open or closed, I
get a message box that the file is not open.

Dim Book As Workbook
On Error Resume Next
Set Book = Workbooks("Q:\BUDGETS PROGRAM LEVEL\QA DIRECT LABOR\LONG
BEACH\LONG BEACH_JQA\QA_Accounts_Overview2007.xls")
On Error GoTo 0
If Not Book Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "MyBook.xls is already open in excel"
Else
MsgBox "MyBook.xls is not open"
End If

Thanks,
