Hello there,
I am working on a personal project.
Goal: I want to click the button that is linked to this Macro, and have the Macro check to see if a certain cell (F2) on a certain sheet (Generator) is equal to Error. If that cell's value is Error or "ERROR", then I want the Critical Error to show and stop the export of the file to .txt.
If cell value is blank or 0, then I want the macro to proceed with the export.
I seem unable to change the code I have to do what I want. Therefore current code does that step. This code currently functions 100%, it just doesn't check for the "Error".
Thanks in advance :)
I am using Windows 7 with Excel 2010

Code:
Sub export2txt()
    Dim lastColumn As Integer
    Dim lastRow As Integer
    Dim strString As String
    Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
    Dim UD As String
    Dim warning


    UD = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").specialfolders("Desktop")
    UD = UD & "\Export.txt"
    Worksheets("EXPORT").Activate
    lastColumn = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Column - 1 + ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
    lastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count).Row
    
    warning = MsgBox("One or more of the selected Systems are incompatible with the size of the ship you have chosen", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Warning")
    If warning = vbOK Then Exit Sub


    Open UD For Output As #1


    For i = 1 To lastRow
        Cells(i, 1).Select
        strString = ""
        For j = 1 To lastColumn
            If j <> lastColumn Then
                strString = strString & Cells(i, j).Value & "," ' Use semicolon instead of pipe.
            Else
                strString = strString & Cells(i, j).Value
            End If
        Next j
        Print #1, strString
    Next i


    Close #1
    
    Worksheets("Generator").Activate
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Add this statement prior to the export:

Code:
Dim errCheck As Range
Dim errVal As String
Set errCheck = Worksheets("Generator").Range("F2")


errVal = LCase(errCheck.value)


If errVal = "error" Then
    
   Dim response As Integer
   response = MsgBox("Aborted Export", vbCritical)
    
   End


End If
