Cross Posted : msoFileDialogSaveAs - How To Implement In This Macro

The following macro will successfully save an embedded image to the DESKTOP. The path is hard coded.

I am needing to implement the msoFileDialogSaveAs so the USER can select where the embedded image is to be saved.
Please assist me in editing this code so it uses the msoFileDialogSaveAs object.

Thank you.


VBA Code:
Sub SaveShapeAsPicture()

Dim cht As ChartObject

Dim ActiveShape As Shape

Dim UserSelection As Variant

'Ensure a Shape is selected

  On Error GoTo NoShapeSelected

    Set UserSelection = ActiveWindow.Selection

    Set ActiveShape = ActiveSheet.Shapes(UserSelection.Name)

  On Error GoTo 0

'Create a temporary chart object (same size as shape)

  Set cht = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add( _

    left:=ActiveCell.left, _

    Width:=ActiveShape.Width, _

    top:=ActiveCell.top, _

    Height:=ActiveShape.Height)

'Format temporary chart to have a transparent background

  cht.ShapeRange.Fill.Visible = msoFalse

  cht.ShapeRange.Line.Visible = msoFalse

  

'Copy/Paste Shape inside temporary chart

  ActiveShape.Copy

  cht.Activate

  ActiveChart.Paste

 

'Save chart to User's Desktop as PNG File

  cht.Chart.Export Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\" & ActiveShape.Name & ".jpeg"

'Delete temporary Chart

  cht.Delete

'Re-Select Shape (appears like nothing happened!)
  ActiveShape.Select

Exit Sub

'ERROR HANDLERS
NoShapeSelected:
  MsgBox "You do not have a single shape selected!"
  Exit Sub

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
NOTE: THIS HAS BEEN ANSWERED AT THE OTHER FORUM. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MARK THIS AS SOLVED.
