Ah! No you can't use

  Try If blahblahblah

(and there are some other things you can't "TRY", I can't think of
them at the moment)

Be very aware of what "TRY" actually does!

Oh and by the way, to test if a connection is already open, the
function you need is
   <Connection>.Opened()

So,

Try $conn.Open()
If Error then
  Print "Not Open"
Else
  Print "Opened it!"
End If

or

$conn.Open
If $conn.Opened() then
  Print "Not Open"
Else
  Print "Opened it!"
End If

should both work.
