You could just put what you want in the appropriate Then/Else portion of your
code.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myWkbk As Workbook

Set myWkbk = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set myWkbk = Workbooks("TTT.xls")
On Error GoTo 0

If myWkbk Is Nothing Then
'do something
Else
'do something else
End If

End Sub
