    I'm not inclined to go creating 'sticky' threads for individual topics that get resurrected periodically. A knowledgebase article might be more appropriate.

    Paul,

    I agree! I don't like Sticky posts either (of any type). This is another good one for ADODB. I've not tried very hard to find a solution, because for my own use it has not been a problem. However if you go digging into this topic you might be compelled to conjure up a method to prevent trying to connect with a database that is not accessible because it is in use. You will see the potential problem if you have your Excel file open with the cursor in the formula bar and ignore the note to cancel.


    Option Explicit
    Sub BulkFindReplace()
    Dim arrList
    Dim lngIndex As Long
    Dim strWBName As String
    Dim oRng As Range
      'Get the list of terms to find and replace.
      strWBName = ThisDocument.Path & "\Word List.xlsx" 'Change to suit path and file name.
      If Dir(strWBName) = "" Then
        MsgBox "Cannot find the designated workbook: " & strWBName, vbExclamation
        Exit Sub
      End If
      If IsFileLocked(strWBName) Then
        If MsgBox("The data file is open in Excel." & vbCr + vbCr _
             & "While the Excel file can be open while accessing data, " _
             & "the underlying database cannot be in transition " _
             & "e.g., the cursor in the formula bar." & vbCr + vbCr _
             & "When in transistion a connection to the data cannot be made." & vbCr + vbCr _
             & "Recommend you cancel, then save and close the Excel file and try again." & vbCr + vbCr _
             & "Do you want to cancel?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "IMPORTANT USER NOTIFICATION") = vbYes Then
