I would like to add some error handling so that in the event an excel workbook named differently to the one specified (Employee_source_data) is provided then a message box is displayed e.g Please ensure spreadsheet name provided is "Employee_source_data". Any ideas how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance!

Nobody will write the code for you, you need to demonstrate what you've tried and what does not work :) –user2140173 Feb 28 '14 at 12:33 Hello @mehow I've messed around with If statements and msg boxes but did not get very far as I am completely new to excel programming and it is a one off requirement :) –OO_Learner Feb 28 '14 at 12:54 The process is quite simple. You need a variable to store the path and then use InStr() or StrComp() to verify if one string exists within the other. –user2140173 Feb 28 '14 at 12:55 If you are hard coding that value, then it should open that workbook. You shouldn't have to test it excel will give an error if that workbook is not found, it won't just open another workbook. –user2140261 Feb 28 '14 at 13:42 Thanks @user2140261, I just want to provide a friendly message for the user in case wrong workbook is provided instead of a runtime error. –OO_Learner Feb 28 '14 at 13:55

I was wondering if it was possible to create an error message when a macro that i wrote in VBA encounters problems. I have quite an extensive piece of software (and ive learnt vba as i go along). But there are certain operations that are caused by a user inputting the wrong data meaning the macro doesnt work. What appears create error message is a horrible debug message and i was wondering whether its possible to create a helpful and user friendly error message to explain to the user what they most likely ahve done wrong? Any experts there know how to help with this one?

This userform is used for searching records in my worksheet....where user selects a "Search By" category from the combobox and then enters relevent text search criteria in the textbox....and all the search results are shown in the listbox. This part works fine untill someone tries to search a "non-existent" record. e.g. a customer name thats not in the database and it gives an error. Can someone show me what I would incorporate in my code to have a Message box pop up on these type of searches saying "textbox1.value Not Found!" insetad of error message. Below is my code: VB: Private Sub cmbFind_Click() Set c = Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) 'write userform entries to database Dim DataSH As Worksheet Set DataSH = Sheets("ComplaintData") With DataSH .Range("L1").Value = cmbSearch.Value .Range("L2").Value = TextBox1.Text .Range("N1").CurrentRegion.Clear .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, criteriarange:=.Range("L1:L2"), copytorange:=.Range("N1") En
