Hello Experts!

I am trying to convert several of the worksheets in my workbook to text files.

I tried saving each as a prn file, but some of the data was getting cut off.

Next I tried this:

Code:
'loop worksheets one by one, open file "WkshtName.prn" as #1 for output and call:
Sub WriteToFile(mySheet As Worksheet, intColCount As Integer, path As String)


Dim intRowNum As Integer, j As Integer
Dim strWholeLine As String
Dim myCell As Range
Dim prnFile2 As String




Application.ScreenUpdating = False
           For intRowNum = 1 To mySheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
                    'only write this row if not hidden
                    
                    If Range("A1").Offset(intRowNum - 1, 0).Rows(1).Hidden = False Then
                      For j = 1 To intColCount
                                
                                'only write this column if not hidden
                                If Range("A1").Offset(, j - 1).Columns(1).Hidden = False Then
                                    Set myCell = Range("A1").Offset(intRowNum - 1, j - 1)
                                    myCell.Activate
                                    strWholeLine = strWholeLine & myCell.Text & PadBlanks(myCell.Width / 4 - Len(myCell.Text))
                                End If
                            
                      Next j
                      Print #1, strWholeLine
                      strWholeLine = ""
                    End If
            
              Next intRowNum
                
ErrExit:
    Close #1
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Exit Sub
ErrHandle:
    MsgBox "Line: " & intRowNum & " Col: " & j & " Text: " & ActiveCell(intRowNum, j).Text
    MsgBox Err.number & ":  " & Err.Description
    Resume ErrExit
End Sub

This works for all of my worksheets except one. That worksheet randomly freezes in the middle, stopping the entire process. I have identified that it always freezes on one specific column, but the "freeze row" varies.

I never even get to the error handler - it just quits in the middle.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
