Default Formula to test for existence of external file

Want to create a formula in Excel which tests for the existence of a second
Excel file. If the file does not exist (because it hasn't yet been created)
the formula should return a False value which can then be used to create a
blank cell rather than a cell containing an error status. Using Excel 2003.
