Check if a file can be opened or not and delete if not

[Joe9238]

Hi, does anyone have a code that can go through a list of hyperlinks and check if they can be opened or not? Some may be corrupt which is the reason they cannot be opened. This is what I have so far but the error command doesn't seem to work. The aim is to delete the hyperlinks that cannot be opened.

Sub testlinks()

On Error GoTo deleteit
   Dim wbTarget As Workbook
    Dim ary(3) As Variant
    Dim lRow As Long
    Dim CodeNames As Variant, i As Long


CodeNames = Range("Z2:Z" & Cells(Rows.Count, "Z").End(xlUp).Row)
For i = 1 To UBound(CodeNames, 1)
    If InStr(1, CodeNames(i, 1), ".xls") > 0 Then
Set wbTarget = Workbooks.Open(CodeNames(i, 1))
wbTarget.Close SaveChanges:=False
GoTo endit
End If
deleteit:
            CodeName = ""
endit:
Next i
Set wbTarget = Nothing
End Sub
