Default Input Box Error Handler

Help Please! I need an error handler code for this macro. I've optioned out several attempts to solve this problem. This code works, but if the Cancel button is clicked is wants to make a copy of the "CategoryCopy" sheet. I need the code to exit the sub if the Cancel button is pressed or if there is a duplicate sheet name entered.

Thanks in advance for your help!



Sub report_test()

'On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

Dim name As Variant
name = Application.InputBox("BE CAREFUL TO NOT DUPLICATE A SHEET NAME!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Please Enter A ""NEW"" Name For This Category:", "TAX TOOL EXPRESS")

'Dim sht As Worksheet, rFound As Range
'On Error Resume Next

'For Each sht In Sheets
'Set rFound = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CategoryCopy").Range("D4" ).Find(sht.name)
'If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
'MsgBox " OOPS!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & " THAT WORKSHEET NAME ALREADY EXISTS!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Either delete the existing worksheet that has the name you are trying to use, or choose another name for the new worksheet." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "To delete the existing worksheet simply right click on it's sheet tab and select ""Delete"" from the pop up action menu. You will be prompted to confirm your deletion.", vbCritical, " TAX TOOL EXPRESS"

'End If
'Exit Sub


'If name = Worksheets("CategoryCopy").Range("D4") Then Exit Sub
Worksheets("CategoryCopy").Range("D4") = name
'If name = Worksheets("CategoryCopy").Range("D4") Then Exit Sub
Worksheets("CategoryCopy").Range("D7:D257").Clear


'ErrorHandler: MsgBox " OOPS!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & " THAT WORKSHEET NAME ALREADY EXISTS!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Either delete the existing worksheet that has the name you are trying to use, or choose another name for the new worksheet." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "To delete the existing worksheet simply right click on it's sheet tab and select ""Delete"" from the pop up action menu. You will be prompted to confirm your deletion.", vbCritical, " TAX TOOL EXPRESS"

'Exit Sub

Application.ScreenUpdating = False


Worksheets("Final Filtering").Range("G7").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

Selection.Copy

Sheets("CategoryCopy").Visible = True
Sheets("CategoryCopy").Select
Range("D7").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues

Dim iRange As Range
Dim iCells As Range

Set iRange = Range("D7:D257")

For Each iCells In iRange
iCells.BorderAround _
LineStyle:=xlContinuous, _
Weight:=xlThin

Next iCells


'Call Copy_Paste_StatisticsReport
'On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

Sheets("CategoryCopy").Copy after:=Sheets("FINAL FILTERING")
ActiveSheet.name = Sheets("CategoryCopy").Range("D4")
ActiveSheet.Range("D5:H5").FormulaHidden = True
ActiveSheet.Range("E7:H257").FormulaHidden = True
ActiveSheet.Protect
ActiveSheet.Range("D4").Select


ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False



Sheets("CategoryCopy").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Final Filtering").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Range("A2").Comment.Visible = False
Range("A6").Select

'ErrorHandler: MsgBox " OOPS!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & " THAT WORKSHEET NAME ALREADY EXISTS!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Either delete the existing worksheet that has the name you are trying to use, or choose another name for the new worksheet." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "To delete the existing worksheet simply right click on it's sheet tab and select ""Delete"" from the pop up action menu. You will be prompted to confirm your deletion.", vbCritical, " TAX TOOL EXPRESS"
'On Error Resume Next
'Exit Sub
'Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Sheets("False").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End Sub

Thumbs up Answer: Input Box Error Handler

  1. Add an error handling section at the beginning of the macro, just after the Sub statement. You can use the On Error statement to specify the error handling behavior. For example:

    Code:
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
  2. Define a label for the error handling section. You can use any name you like, but it should be descriptive. For example:

    Code:
    ErrorHandler:
  3. Inside the error handling section, you can use the Err object to check for specific errors. For example, if the user clicks the Cancel button in the InputBox, the Err.Number property will be set to 424. You can use an If statement to check for this error and exit the sub if it occurs. For example:

    Code:
    If Err.Number = 424 Then
        Exit Sub
    End If
  4. You can also check for other errors, such as a duplicate sheet name. To do this, you can use the Find method to search for the sheet name in the workbook. For example:

    Code:
    Dim sht As Worksheet, rFound As Range
    For Each sht In Sheets
        Set rFound = sht.Range("D4").Find(name)
        If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox "That worksheet name already exists. Please choose another name.", vbCritical, "TAX TOOL EXPRESS"
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Next sht
  5. Finally, you can add an error message to the error handling section to inform the user of any other errors that may occur. For example:

    Code:
    MsgBox "An error occurred while running the macro. Please try again or contact technical support.", vbCritical, "TAX TOOL EXPRESS"
    Here's the complete code with the error handling section added:

    Formula:
    Sub report_test()

    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

    Dim name

        Set rFound 
    sht.Range("D4").Find(name)
        If 
    Not rFound Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox 
    "That worksheet name already exists. Please choose another name."vbCritical"TAX TOOL EXPRESS"

    Exit Sub

    ErrorHandler
    :
