Check path before opening workbook in excel vb
I have the following code below which opens a workbook in excel, however, i was wondering if there was a way to check if the path is valid before trying to open it up and getting an error. I don't want to use an err.number solution. I also put a pic of the error that shows when it tries to open a workbook that doesn't exist.

i just don't like to code that way i guess, figure there has to be a better way to do it.
If Dir$("C:\MyPath\MyFile.Xls
Set Wbk = WorkBooks.Open("C:\MyPath\
Set Wbk = WorkBooks.Open("C:\MyPath\
The code i sent will not work in VBScript. Please see
