I am trying to read all empty cells in a column then append the rows that the
cells are in to a text file using VB6
Microsoft EXCEL 2003

I am assuming: (1) the column is A, and (2) you want to start at row 1.
This subroutine looks at column A on Sheet2 and on Sheet3 in column A it
lists the row number of every empty cell. The Sheet3 could be copied to a
text file or saved as a TXT file.
best wishes

Sub ListEmpty()
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
lastcell = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For j = 1 To lastcell
If Cells(j, 1) = "" Then
k = k + 1
Sheets("Sheet3").Cells(k, 1) = j
End If
Next j
End Sub

Thanks for this Bernard it's a good start but I need to display the whole
contents of the row, not just the row numbers, also in a text file rather
than on another sheet.

Hope you can help, or anyone else out there?

Cheers

Hi Chip

This doesn't work, I get an empty file.

More details - my empty cells are in column G , which lines should I change
to make this work?

Cheers

That means you don't have a worksheet named Sheet2.

Change the code or change the name of the sheet on the worksheet tab.

Hi Chip

Almost there, the column I need to search on is column G, there are empty
cells in other columns, which I need to ignore, searching specifically on
column G only for empty cells. Which lines of the code would I need to alter
to acheive the results?

Thanks for all your help so far
