In VBA, check if file is corrupt or not Excel
I'm using Excel 2003.
Using VBA, I am looping through a number of excel files, extracting data from each, and writing that data into another excel spreadsheet. Occasionally, there is a Word document in the directory, and once there was a corrupt Excel spreadsheet. How do I check if the excel file that I'm trying to open is corrupt or not in an Excel format? Your help would be greatly appreciated! |

Hi laavista
You can loop through only the excel files and if it can't open the file skip it See http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy3.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "laavista" wrote in message ...

I've tried checking for an error code each time I open a file, but the user
gets an error message from Excel and it stops the program. Any suggestions?

In VBA, check if file is corrupt or not Excel
Try clicking on Tools/Options... click the General tab on the dialog box
that appears and note which OptionButton is selected in the Error Trapping panel... if it is "Break on All Errors", then that is your problem... change the selection to one of the other two (my suggestion is "Break in Class Module"... it does the same thing as "Break on Unhandled Errors" plus some additional things). -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "laavista" wrote in message ...
