Means when i m closing any excel workbook then at that time if it is accidently
colsed then it is generating exception. So before that i wnt to check whether
the file is open or not.

Code for closing file.

excelall.activeworkbook.close(SaveChanges:=false)
excelall.quit()

Microsoft's own solution:

Function IsOpen(FileName As String) As Boolean
Dim wb As Workbook
For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
If UCase(wb.Name) = UCase(FileName) Then
IsOpen = True
Exit Function
End If
Next wb
IsOpen = False
End Function
