I have a macro that opens a file and reformats it along with pulling in other information. I want the macro to stop and give the user an error message if the input file exceeds 50,000 rows. Is there a way to code this?

Thank you.

If you place this bit of code at the beginning of your macro, it should do that:
Code:
    If ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row > 50000 Then
        MsgBox "File exceeds 50,000 rows", vbOKOnly, "ERROR!"
        Exit Sub
    End If
