On Error Excel 2007 VBA: Getting it in the right place
Posted on 2012-12-26
I want the Msgbox to show ONLY if file can't save or doesn't have values in the 3 cells. I never seem to be able to figure out where to put it so it does NOT pop up always.
Sub SaveBook()
'Saves the workbook
If Range("checksave").Value = 3 Then
MsgBox ("Created")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Range("path").Text & Range("filename").Text
On Error GoTo Err
::::My code here
Else: MsgBox ("You must enter a MID and Customer ID and Business Name before saving.")
Exit Sub
End If
Err:
MsgBox ("You must enter a MID and Customer ID and Business Name before saving.")
Worksheets("Dashboard").Shapes("Rounded Rectangle 50").Delete
End Sub

Swap lines 12 and 13 of your code so that you have:
Else: MsgBox ("You must enter a MID and Customer ID and Business Name before saving.")
End If
Exit Sub
The On Error Goto command affects all commands in the Sub that follow it, so if you wanted to detect an error during file save, you would want the On Error statement before the SaveAs call and any other statements you expect might fail.
If code logic detects an error, jump to error handling code. In your example this avoids duplicating the MsgBox code, but it is worth noting that the SaveAs command can encounter a wide range of errors, so you might also want to check the value of ErrNo for situations like path-not-found or access-denied, etc.

so you might also want to check the value of ErrNo for situations like path-not-found or access-denied, etc.Nope. They won't get that. If they do, it'll be once and never again.
Thanks, guys! I'll check tomorrow at work. Happy Holidays!
Here's what I'm using, which appears to work. :)
Sub SaveBook()
'Saves the workbook
If Range("checksave").Value = 3 Then
MsgBox ("Created")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Range("path").Text & Range("filename").Text
On Error GoTo Err
:::My code here
Else: MsgBox ("You must enter a MID and Customer ID and Business Name before saving.")
Worksheets("Dashboard").Shapes("Rounded Rectangle 50").Delete
End If
Exit Sub
End Sub
It looks like you removed the label: Err. This is not good. I'm not sure what the behavior will be when an error is encountered, but I doubt it will be what you want.
I suspect if you compiled the VBA project. It would tell you that the label could not be found. I highly recommend using the compile feature (Debug / Compile VBAProject). It helps discover errors (like this one) you might otherwise miss.
