Seach Find txt file or close workbook in workbook_open()

[Mahmut]

After I click the excel file, I want to search a specific text file in
a specific folder. If the text file is not in that folder, I want
workbook to close. I tried below, but it did not work.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

............

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = Filename
.SearchSubFolders = False
.TextOrProperty = "tftougpq"
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
If .Execute > 0 Then
ThisWorkbook.Close
End If
End With
......
......

End Sub

So you want to search the same folder for a text file with a particular name.

If that's true:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Dim TestStr As String
Dim myFileName As String

myFileName = "yourspecifictextfilename.txt"

TestStr = ""
On Error Resume Next
TestStr = Dir(Me.Path & "\" & myFileName)
On Error GoTo 0

If TestStr = "" Then
'not found
Me.Close savechanges:=False
End If

End Sub

Remember if macros are disabled (or events are not allowed to run), then this
won't do what you want.
