Disabling the "could not open" notification

[alfredo]

Sorry, I have looked extensively but could not find this on my own.

In VBA code:

1) Is there a way of disabling the notification that Excel was not able to
open a file?

And to try to kill two birds with one stone:

2) Is there similary a way of also disabling the window that tells you it is
(trying to / in the process of) opening a file

Thanks

1) Use On Error

on error resume next
set myWS = Workbooks.Open("MyFile.xls")
on error goto 0
if myWS is nothing then
msgbox "File not found"
exit sub
end if

2)
Didn't understand the question

Thanks.

I will use that, and/or a combination with:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

... which I only just discovered.
