Question : VBA Error Handler when excel sheet does not exist

The block of code below imports specific worksheets from 3 different Excel files into one table.

For instances where Year1.xlsx does not exit, an error message fires (Run-time error ‘1004’). I’m looking for a way to implement an error handler that would operate to this effect:

If a particular Excel Sheet doesn’t exist (e.g. ‘Year2.xlsx’), then execute the code on the next Excel sheet listed in ‘myPath = Array…’

If none of the sheets exist listed in ‘myPath = Array…’, then fire this code:

MsgBox "Worksheets do not exist. Exiting sub now!", vbInformation, "Error"

myPath = Array("\\serverName\Year1.xlsx", "\\serverName\Year2.xlsx", "\\serverName\Year3.xlsx")
For j = LBound(myPath) To UBound(myPath)
    
    
Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    objXL.Workbooks.Open xlPath, , True
    With objXL
        For i = 1 To .Worksheets.Count
            If InStr(.Worksheets(i).Name, "widget") Then
            DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, _
             "tableName", myPath(j), True, .Worksheets(i).Name & "!A:M"
            End If
        Next
    End With
    objXL.Quit
    Set objXL = Nothing

Next

End Sub
