Are you looking to check if the project file is open from Excel, that would be my first question.

If yes have you looked to set the reference in VBA for MS Projects XX. Object Library XX is the verison number you are using.

Hi Trevor, I'm not quite sure I follow. I'm looking to see whether or not the MS Project file is already open (read only or not) on my machine before the macro either tries to open it or get it.
