I have a macro that will obtain the source data from various files. How can I produce a msgbox to let the user know a source is missing, rather than crashing?
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Like this?

Code:
If Dir("C\test\a.xls") = "" Then
    MsgBox "No file"
    Exit Sub
Else
    Workbooks.Open "C\test\a.xls"
End If

Don't I feel stupid? :oops:

I was thinking there was an easier way using "On Error". :(
