I have a procedure that copies rows of a table to other worksheets that works fine most of the time. Sometimes I think it becomes corrupted or something similar as I get the error of method of open worksheets failed and it highlights the code to open the file. All I need to do is open the workbook manually, select save as and replace the file you opened and then it seems to stop giving me the error. Is there a way to build into the code that if that error occurs, it will complete the above solution automatically, without having to open the workbook manually? This is the code that opens the workbooks. When there is a problem with the workbook to be opened, the last half of the line to open the workbook will be highlighted.

VBA Code:
        If Not isFileOpen(DocYearName & ".xlsm") Then Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "Work Allocation Sheets" & "\" & Site & "\" & DocYearName & ".xlsm"
        If Not isFileOpen(HoursRegister & ".xlsm") Then Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "Hours Register" & "\" & Site & "\" & HoursRegister & ".xlsm"
        If Not isFileOpen(ReportTracking & ".xlsm") Then Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "Report Tracking" & "\" & Site & "\" & ReportTracking & ".xlsm"

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
You should be trying to fix the root cause rather than programming in a workaround. The situation you are describing is probably not a corruption but something else going on in the code. Corruptions do happen but are relatively rare. Can you show all of your code?

Can you be more specific about the error
I get the error of method of open worksheets failed
