The issue is with the selection of visible cells. If there is no data in the worksheet then the selection will consist of visible cells only and it generates an error: Run-time error '1004': no cells were found. I used a On Error Goto 10 statement and made it past the first occurence of this error, tried using a On Error Goto 11 on the next file but it still stops. At the risk of looking like a putz with my first attempt at VB, I have attached the code that I wrote for this macro: Sub FILEIMPORT() ' ' FILEIMPORT Macro ' Macro recorded 31/01/2008 by Sean Bell ' Dim pricingdir As String Dim categorydir As String Dim skudir As String Dim reportingdir As String Dim pricingfile As String Dim categoryfile As String Dim skufile As String Dim reportingfile As String Dim demandgroup As String Dim mastername As String Sheets("Update Tab").Activate pricingdir = Worksheets("Update Tab").Range("PRICING_DIR") categorydir = Worksheets("Update Tab").Range("CATEGORY_DIR") skudir = Worksheets("Update Tab").Range("SKU_DIR") reportingdir = Worksheets("Update Tab").Range("REPORTING_DIR") demandgroup = Worksheets("Update Tab").Range("DEMAND_GROUP") pricingfile

See http://www.cpearson.com/excel/errorhandling.htm Maybe try something like this: Sub Tester() Dim pSize As XlPaperSize pSize = xlPaperTabloid On Error GoTo haveError: ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PaperSize = pSize 'print stuff...

Error GoTo commands, but If one error appear the next error results in Run-time error 91. Do I have to rese something after each check (...and in case, what?)?

Nevertheless, I have inserted some code in your originally provided code to illustrate one way to have multiple On Error statements executed. You need to resume execution (i.e., exit the error handler) after entering each error handler.

frequent questions I come across relates to the situation where an active and enabled error handler section handles the first error as expected but then fails to handle any subsequent errors. (An enabled error handler is one that is turned on by an On Error statement and an active error handler is an enabled handler that is in the process of handling an error.) Here's the explanation (it's a little long, but bear with me!): The On Error statement is the heart of VBA error-handling. Without an On Error statement, any run-time error that occurs will display an error message, and code execution will stop. There are 4 distinct On Error options: On Error Resume Next On Error GoTo some_label/line_number On Error Goto 0 On Error Goto -1 On Error Resume Next This is the simplest error handling option but also the most dangerous and most often misused. It ensures that when a run-time error occurs, control simply goes to the statement immediately following the statement where the error occurred, and execution continues from that point. There is no message to alert the user as to the fact that an error has occurred, or to what it might be. A typical good use of this structure is when there is a predictable error that you want to override – often assigning an object that may or may not exist to a variable. For example, when testing for the existence of a worksheet in a workbook, you can loop through all the worksheets checking the name of each one, or you can employ an On Error Resume Next statement like this: Dim ws as Worksheet On Error Resume Next Set ws = activeworkbook.worksheets("some name") If not ws is nothing then ' do stuff End If The danger of this is if you do not remember to reset error handling (by either simply disabling it with On Error Goto 0 or enabling an error handler – see below) all further errors in your code will be suppressed, which can make problems very hard to locate and debug – you may not even notice them until your code is already in real use, which is never a good thing! I frequently see people simply put On Error Resume Next at the top of their
