three flavors: compiler errors such as undeclared variables that prevent your code from compiling; user data entry error such as a user entering a negative value where only a positive number is acceptable; and run time errors, that occur when VBA cannot correctly execute

a program statement. We will concern ourselves here only with run time errors. Typical run time handling errors in vba errors include attempting to access a non-existent worksheet or workbook, or attempting to divide by zero. The example code in this article will use

the division by zero error (Error 11) when we want to deliberately raise an error. Your application should make as many checks as possible during initialization to ensure that run time errors do not occur later. In Excel, this includes excel vba on error options ensuring that required workbooks and worksheets are present and that required names are defined. The more checking you do before the real work of your application begins, the more stable your application will be. It is far better to detect potential error situations when your application starts up before data is change than to wait until later to encounter an error situation. If you have no error handling code and a run time error occurs, VBA will display its standard run continue vba code on next line time error dialog box. While this may be acceptable, even desirable, in a development environment, it is not acceptable to the end user in a production environment. The goal of well designed error handling code is to anticipate potential errors, and correct them at run time or to terminate code execution in a controlled, graceful method. Your goal should be to prevent unhandled errors from arising. A note on terminology: Throughout this article, the term procedure should be taken to mean a Sub, Function, or Property procedure, and the term exit statement should be taken to mean Exit Sub, Exit Function, or Exit Property. The term end statement should be taken to mean End Sub , End Function, End Property, or just End. The On Error Statement The heart of error handling in VBA is the On Error statement. This statement instructs VBA what to do when an run time error is encountered. The On Error statement takes three forms. On Error Goto 0 On Error Resume Next On Error Goto

It comes with various option: On Error Goto label Once your code encounters this statement, it will jump to label: if an error occurs. It is useful if you need to do some error handling - especially if there are multiple places where things can go wrong but they always result in the same "need to fix something" routine. You can use Err.Number or Err.Description to find out what caused the error. On Error Resume Next Is useful when you have a single line that might cause an error - but if it does you want to ignore and keep going. This is most likely the right thi
the wrong time. The application may crash. A calculation may produce unexpected results, etc. You can predict some of these effects and take appropriate actions. Some other problems http://www.functionx.com/vbaexcel/Lesson26.htm are not under your control. Fortunately, both Microsoft Excel and the VBA language provide various tools or means of dealing with errors. Practical Learning:Introducing Error Handling Open the Georgetown Dry Cleaning Services1 spreadsheet and click the Employees tab Click the Payroll tab Click the TimeSheet tab To save the workbook and prepare it for code, press F12 Specify the folder as (My) Documents In the Save As on error Type combo box, select Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook Click Save Introduction to Handling Errors To deal with errors in your code, the Visual Basic language provides various techniques. One way you can do this is to prepare your code for errors. When an error occurs, you would present a message to the user to make him/her aware of the issue (the error). To prepare a message, you create a vba on error section of code in the procedure where the error would occur. To start that section, you create a label. Here is an example: Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click() ThereWasBadCalculation: End Sub After (under) the label, you can specify your message. Most of the time, you formulate the message using a message box. Here is an example: Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click() ThereWasBadCalculation: MsgBox "There was a problem when performing the calculation" End Sub If you simply create a label and its message like this, its section would always execute: Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click() Dim HourlySalary As Double, WeeklyTime As Double Dim WeeklySalary As Double ' One of these two lines could produce an error, such as ' if the user types an invalid number HourlySalary = CDbl(txtHourlySalary) WeeklyTime = CDbl(txtWeeklyTime) ' If there was an error, the flow would jump to the label WeeklySalary = HourlySalary * WeeklyTime txtWeeklySalary = FormatNumber(WeeklySalary) ThereWasBadCalculation: MsgBox "There was a problem when performing the calculation" End Sub To avoid this, you should find a way to interrupt the flow of the program before the label section. One way you can do this is to add a line marked Exit Sub before the label. This would be done as follows: Private Sub cmdCalculate_Cli
