Hello,

I am looking for code that will check to see if a particular workbook is open (named "The Sheet").

-If it is open, then I would want to go to this workbook.
-If it is not open, I would like to open it

Any Ideas?

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

Hi Daniel, try this:

Rich (BB code):
Sub OpenDoc()
Workbooks.Open "C:\Users\Fishboy\Documents\The Sheet.xls"
End Sub
You will obviously need to change the filepath to match where the file is located. If the file is not open, it will open. It is is open, it will activate.
