Check for worksheet in closed workbook

[Les]

Hello all, is it possible to get a worksheet name in a closed workbook ?

If it is possible could you help me with some script please ?

 

[Bob Phillips]

Here's a simple function to test fr it

Function IfSheetExists(FileName As String, sh As String) As Boolean
Dim oConn As Object

Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & FileName & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"

On Error Resume Next
oConn.Execute "SELECT 1 FROM [" & sh & "$] WHERE 0=1"
IfSheetExists = (Err.Number = 0)

oConn.Close
Set oConn = Nothing

End Function

First, don't change Bob's function. It should just be pasted into the module.

Second, Bob's function want's a filename passed to the function, then the
worksheet name, so maybe something like:

If IfSheetExists("\\nv09002\tpdrive\Projects\General\50_Comparisons\KTL's\" _
& myKTLIH & ".xls", "TOOL TRACKING") = True Then

Thanks so much Dave, as i am not a programmer i am a little unsure of
these things but have managed to get it working in the mean time, with
the following code.

Sub DoesSheetExist()
'
Dim myKTLih As String

myKTLih = "90IH0810"


If
IfSheetExists("\\nv09002\tpdrive\Projects\General\50_Comparisons\KTL's\"
& myKTLih & ".xls", "TOOL TRACKING") = True Then

Workbooks.Open(FileName:="\\nv09002\tpdrive\Projects\General\50_Comparis
ons\KTL's\" & myKTLih & ".xls"). _
RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoOpen

Else
MsgBox "You have loaded the incorrect KTL", vbOKOnly, "ERROR"
End If

End Sub
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Function IfSheetExists(FileName As String, sh As String) As Boolean
Dim oConn As Object



'FileName = "\\nv09002\tpdrive\Projects\General\50_Comparisons\KTL's\" &
myKTLih & ".xls"
'sh = Worksheets("TOOL TRACKING")

Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & FileName & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"

On Error Resume Next
oConn.Execute "SELECT 1 FROM [" & sh & "$] WHERE 0=1"
IfSheetExists = (Err.Number = 0)

oConn.Close
Set oConn = Nothing

End Function
