Workbook is Nothing

[most]

My code looks through all workbooks to find the complete name of the workbook.
I want to add a check if the workbook is not found.

I thougt this would work, but it doesn't.
If AWorkbook Is Nothing Then MsgBox "A not found!"

Any pointers?

Public AWorkbook As Workbook
Public BWorkbook As Workbook
Public ASheet As Worksheet
Sub GetAllNames()
Dim wb As Workbook
For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
  If Left(Trim(wb.Name), 1) = "A" Then
    Set AWorkbook = Workbooks(wb.Name)
  End If
  If Left(Trim(wb.Name), 1) = "B" Then
    Set BWorkbook = Workbooks(wb.Name)
  End If
Next wb


If AWorkbook Is Nothing Then MsgBox "A not found!"
If BWorkbook Is Nothing Then MsgBox "B not found!"


Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In BWorkbook.Worksheets
  If Left(Trim(sh.Name), 1) = "A" Then
    Set ASheet = Worksheets(sh.Name)
    Count = Count + 1
  End If
Next sh


If ASheet Is Nothing Then MsgBox "A sheet not found!"
If Count > 1 Then MsgBox "Several A sheets found!"


End Sub

How does it not work?

If I don't have a workbook that has a name starting with 'A' I get the 'A not found!' message.

Hi,
you have declared you object variables Public and maybe they are holding a previous value?

Public AWorkbook As Workbook
Public BWorkbook As Workbook
Public ASheet As Worksheet
Sub GetAllNames()
Dim wb As Workbook


Set AWorkbook = Nothing
Set BWorkbook = Nothing


For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
  If Left(Trim(wb.Name), 1) = "A" Then
    Set AWorkbook = Workbooks(wb.Name)
  End If
  If Left(Trim(wb.Name), 1) = "B" Then
    Set BWorkbook = Workbooks(wb.Name)
  End If
Next wb




If AWorkbook Is Nothing Then MsgBox "A not found!"
If BWorkbook Is Nothing Then MsgBox "B not found!"

try adding two lines shown in RED and see if helps

Yeah, it works for now also, I guess it went wrong in all testing.
Added Set AWorkbook = Nothing to minimize future issues.
Sorry for taking your time.

Has a very good point, perhaps you shouldn't be declaring AWorkbook and BWorkbook as Public?
