Hi, i have a lot of lines a code, there are ranges of some cells. Each one save a position of others books by reference.
VBA Code:
Sheets("test").Range("b3").Value = "='\\server1\DATA\dataset\cabinetes\L31\time\" & year1 & "\" & cmbMes.Value & "\LAST" & "\[L" & "31" & "_" & txtDia.Value & ".xlsx]2do'!R9C6"
    Sheets("test").Range("b4").Value = "='\\server1\DATA\dataset\cabinetes\L31\time\" & year1 & "\" & cmbMes.Value & "\LAST" & "\[L" & "31" & "_" & txtDia.Value & ".xlsx]2do'!R10C6"
    Sheets("test").Range("b5").Value = "='\\server1\DATA\dataset\cabinetes\L31\time\" & year1 & "\" & cmbMes.Value & "\LAST" & "\[L" & "31" & "_" & txtDia.Value & ".xlsx]2do'!R11C6"
..........

The year, cmbMes, txtDia there are form objects. To complete the path string values.
when it doesn't find the file it breaks the code and shows a file browser window asking to add the file it didn't find, this becomes a loop since I have many lines of code like the ones I put here, so if it doesn't find the file the code does not stop.

And i need to press cancel like 100 times to finish it (because I have 100 lines of code like the ones I inserted above)
So I want a way that if it doesn't find the file in the first line, it doesn't search because if it doesn't find it in the first lines, it won't find it in the others.
 

Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
Do a For loop maybe
You can increment the row number, check the value is not empty
If it is exit sub

Could use a
VBA Code:
For Each cell in RangeToProcess
il might be faster

I have used the .log file approach. In simple terms you check the validity of the file sought, at every step in the loop and if missing write the info to a log file which can be inspected by the user. Can also write to an “output” sheet so the user has the info straight there
