Don't save files on the Root drive (C :. Windows doesn't like it.
Nearest to your code:
Sub Test()
Dim Fname As String
Dim Fname2 As String
Dim Fld As String
Fld = "C:\VBAX\"
Fname = "file.xlsx"
Fname2 = "file 2.xlsx"
If IsFileOpen(Fld & Fname) = True Then
Workbooks(Fname).Activate
ElseIf IsFileOpen(Fld & Fname2) = True Then
Workbooks(Fname2).Activate
Else: MsgBox "Open certain files"
End If
End Sub
Function IsFileOpen(FileName As String)

Dim iFilenum As Long
Dim iErr As Long
On Error Resume Next
iFilenum = FreeFile()
Open FileName For Input Lock Read As #iFilenum
Close iFilenum
iErr = Err
On Error GoTo 0
Select Case iErr
Case 0: IsFileOpen = False
Case 70: IsFileOpen = True
Case Else: Error iErr
End Select
End Function
Thank you so much. It works very well.
