VBA check if file exists

I have this code. It is supposed to check if a file exists and open it if it does. It does work if the file exists, and if it doesn't, however, whenever I leave the textbox blank and click the submit button, it fails. What I want, if the textbox is blank is to display the error message just like if the file didn't exist.

Runtime-error "1004"

Dim File As String
File = TextBox1.Value
Dim DirFile As String

DirFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\" & File
If Dir(DirFile) = "" Then
  MsgBox "File does not exist"
Else
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=DirFile
End If

Solution 1:

something like this

best to use a workbook variable to provide further control (if needed) of the opened workbook

updated to test that file name was an actual workbook - which also makes the initial check redundant, other than to message the user than the Textbox is blank

Dim strFile As String
Dim WB As Workbook
strFile = Trim(TextBox1.Value)
Dim DirFile As String
If Len(strFile) = 0 Then Exit Sub

DirFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\" & strFile
If Len(Dir(DirFile)) = 0 Then
  MsgBox "File does not exist"
Else
 On Error Resume Next
 Set WB = Workbooks.Open(DirFile)
 On Error GoTo 0
 If WB Is Nothing Then MsgBox DirFile & " is invalid", vbCritical
End If

Solution 2:

I use this function to check for file existence:

Function IsFile(ByVal fName As String) As Boolean
'Returns TRUE if the provided name points to an existing file.
'Returns FALSE if not existing, or if it's a folder
    On Error Resume Next
    IsFile = ((GetAttr(fName) And vbDirectory) <> vbDirectory)
End Function
