Hi,
So i have a macro that imports one sheet from several workbooks.
Sometimes I write the directory path incorrectly to the file and a debug/error popup appears and halts the process. At this point I correct the path and run the macro again.

Is there a way i can add some code that:
If workbook path is not found then
paste bad link in cells (blah blah)


I found the iferror function, but i don't see how it would apply in this scenario.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Try this:

Code:
Dim FilePath as String
FilePath="xxxx" ' xxxx=file including whole path
If Len(Dir(FilePath)) = 0 Then
    Debug.print FilePath & " does not exist!"
Else
    ' The file does exist in the specified path. Do your stuff
End If

Debug.print will output to the Immediate window in VBA (Ctrl+G to view).
