Hi Dan

I reply in your other thread with this

You can test it with a Excel4 macro like I do here

Yes I see that Ron and I thank you but I went to the link and the code seems
to long and also I need to check for the existance of a worksheet with in a
workbook without ever opening the workbook I am checking.

I have resolved this issue now with a much shorter code.

Here is the solution I came up with.

Function CheckSheetExist(Pth As String, Wb As String, Sh As String) As Boolean
On Error GoTo NBG
If Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro("'" & Pth & "[" & Wb & "]" & Sh &
"'!R1C1") "" Then
CheckSheetExist = True
Else
NBG: CheckSheetExist = False
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Sub CheckSheet() 'Checks for the existance of a Worksheet with in a closed
workbook
Dim check As Boolean
check = CheckSheetExist("C:\MyPath\", "MyWorkbook.xls", "MySheet")
MsgBox check 'Returns True or False
End Sub

I see that you not see my code in the macro

On Error Resume Next
SheetCheck = ExecuteExcel4Macro(PathStr & Range("A1").Address(, , xlR1C1))
If Err.Number < 0 Then
