CreateObject may fail; e.g. if you use msxml12 (digit 1) instead of msxml2 (letter l). Such blunders should be fixed during development. .Open may fail; e.g. if you use "mysite.com" instead of a syntactically correct URL. If you get the URL at runtime, a 'look before you jump' check is advisable, an OERN can be used to catch bad URLs not found by your validation. .Send may fail; e.g. if the site is down or abandoned. This is a clear case for an OERN. The most important rule wrt OERN: Keep it local and short (Only one risky line between OERN and OEG0). Demo code: Option Explicit Dim sUrl For Each sUrl In Split("http://stackoverflow.com http://pipapo.org mysite.com") Dim oXML, aErr ' Set oXML = CreateObject("msxm12.XMLHTTP") Set oXML = CreateObject("msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0") On Error Resume Next oXML.Open "GET", sUrl, False aErr = Array(Err.Number, Err.Description) On Error GoTo 0 If 0 = aErr(0) Then On Error Resume Next oXML.Send aErr = Array(Err.Number, Err.Description) On E
