So why does On error resume next not seem to be registering in the following?

It is unfair to force a duplicate on a person with a similar problem made specific to say, Powerpoint. –Fionnuala Mar 21 '13 at 11:53 BTW the more generic question is at stackoverflow.com/questions/14158901/…, as cited below. –Fionnuala Mar 21 '13 at 11:56 @Remou OK, no problem. I just felt that the On Error GoTo -1 answer was general enough to warrant the vba tag. –Olle Sjögren Mar 21 '13 at 12:08 @OlleSjögren I see where you are coming from, and it is a toss-up alright, it just seems to me that this particular question has a lot of Excel in it. If you feel very strongly, I will not fight back :) –Fionnuala Mar 21 '13 at 12:10 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted You need to use On Error GoTo -1 or Err.Clear to reset error trapping. Check this answer I posted a few mont 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 on error exit sub execute a program statement. We will concern ourselves here only with run time errors. Typical run time errors include attempting vba on error resume next turn off 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 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15542747/on-error-goto-0-not-resetting-error-trapping 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 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 http://www.cpearson.com/excel/errorhandling.htm 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 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.

(It works but I'm interested to know what other people make of it and for any suggestions you might like to make.) The most important facts to realise are: When you use on error goto Label1 the procedure enters into a state of "I'm handling an error" as an exception has been raised. When it is in this state, if another "On Error Goto" label2 statement is executed it will NOT goto label2, but raises and error which is passed to the code that called the procedure. You can stop a procedure being in the "I'm handling an error" state by clearing the exception (setting err to nothing so the err.number property becomes 0) by using Err.clear or On Error Goto -1 ' Which I think is less clear! (NOTE that On Error Goto 0 is different from the above) Also important to note is that Err.Clear resets it to zero but it is actually equivalent to: On Error Goto -1 On Error Goto 0 ie Err.Clear removes an "On Error Goto" that is currently in place. So therefore it is mostly best to use: On Error Goto -1 as using Err.clear You would often need to write Err.Clear On Error Goto MyErrorHandlerLabel I use the above techniques with various labels to simulate the sometimes useful functionality that Visual basiVba Err.clear Not Working
