Hi All,

I have command button that will save chart from a sheet as a jpg file.(Ifound this code on this Forum) This is working OK but I need to make sure the file is saved to the users desktop. I pretty sure the code I have used is OK for this but I won't mind someone checking it please. Currently the file will overwrite a existing file of the same name without a prompt.

May be it is best if the user can select their own filename and location, but I have no idea where to start with that, but that would fix the 2 problems above.

Also currently if the sheet"Charts" doesn't exist it will error, I need a msgbox and then return to the userform.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton6_Click()Dim objChrt As ChartObject
Dim myChart As Chart


    Set objChrt = Sheets("Chart").ChartObjects(1)
    Set myChart = objChrt.Chart


    myFileName = "Cell Data.jpg"


    On Error Resume Next
    Kill ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & myFileName
    On Error GoTo 0


myChart.Export Filename:=myFileName, Filtername:="jpg"
    MsgBox "File Cell Data.jpg has been saved to the desktop", vbInformation


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
