VB Script If Statement - Opening Excel Workbook - excel

Original Question:
My goal is to have a VB Script run a macro in multiple excel spreadsheets.
This works great but I have one issue.
Sometimes a worksheet may not be available for a given month, this is intentional.
I would like to create an IF Statement that says if excel file is unavailable skip to next file.
So in this situation, if test1.xls is unavailable move one to the next file. I Hope that make sense. Thank you to anyone who can guide me in the right direction. Programming is not my forte.

Answer 1

Further to my comments why not check if the file exists or not before opening it? Also why not create one procedure to open the file instead of duplicating it?
Try this (TRIED AND TESTED)
Dim objExcel, objWorkbook, xlModule, strCode
If ReportFileStatus("C:\scripts\test1.xls") = "True" Then
OpenFile "C:\scripts\test1.xls", "C:\scripts\test.xls"
End If
If ReportFileStatus("C:\scripts\test2.xls") = "True" Then
OpenFile "C:\scripts\test2.xls", "C:\scripts\test1.xls"
End If
On Error Resume Next
Set xlModule = Nothing
Set objWorkbook = Nothing
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
On Error GoTo 0
'~~> Sub to open the file
Sub OpenFile(sFile, DestFile)
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = True
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(sFile)
Set xlModule = objWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(1)
strCode = _
"sub test()" & vbCr & _
" msgbox ""Inside the macro"" " & vbCr & _
"end sub"
xlModule.CodeModule.AddFromString strCode
objWorkbook.SaveAs DestFile
objExcel.Run "Test"
objWorkbook.Close (False) '<~~ Change false to true in case you want to save changes
End Sub
'~~> Function to check if file exists
Function ReportFileStatus(filespec)
Dim fso, msg
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If (fso.FileExists(filespec)) Then
msg = "True"
Else
msg = "False"
End If
ReportFileStatus = msg
End Function

TRIED AND TESTED
Dim objExcel
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = True
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
InsertCode "C:\scripts\test1.xls", "C:\scripts\test1_upd.xls"
InsertCode "C:\scripts\test2.xls", "C:\scripts\test2_upd.xls"
objExcel.Quit
Sub InsertCode(wbPath, newPath)
Dim objWorkbook, xlmodule, strCode
On Error Resume Next
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(wbPath)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not objWorkbook Is Nothing Then
Set xlmodule = objWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(1)
strCode = _
"sub test()" & vbCr & _
" msgbox ""Inside the macro"" " & vbCr & _
"end sub"
xlmodule.CodeModule.AddFromString strCode
objWorkbook.SaveAs newPath
objWorkbook.Close
End If
End Sub
