will be silently trapped and stored in the global Err object. We VB-ers typically use this construct to execute some "non-mission critical" code, where errors can be safely ignored. The canonical example I https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5hsw66as.aspx have seen many, many times, is the Form_Resize event handling procedure: Private Sub Form_Resize()

End Sub If this procedure did not contain the On Error Resume Next statement and a runtime error would occur, the application would be terminated with a nasty error message. (You do catch runtime http://www.developerfusion.com/code/4325/on-error-resume-next-considered-harmful/ errors in every event handling procedure, don't you?) In cases like this, the On Error Resume Next statement is quite handy, because it means less typing and more compact code. However, there are times, when this "handiness" might be very dangerous. The true danger of the On Error Resume Next statement lies in the fact that it makes it too easy to ignore the runtime errors. I have seen several cases, when ignoring runtime errors unintentionally was a recipe for disaster. Let me provide you with a real-life example taken from my own experience. Imagine a customer who had been using my application for several months and was happy with it. The application has a typical (somewhat boring:-) three-tier architecture (in the old days known as the Microsoft Windows DNA): VB6 front end; a typical forms-based application built with several 3rd party controls (GridEX, ActiveReports and AddFlow if you must know). VB6 back end; a DLL component configured to run as a COM+ application implementing the application's business logic (there is also the data access code-who writes middle-tier data access layer anyway:-). A set of T-SQL procedures for retrieving a updating the application's SQL Server 2000 d

Surely, if there is an error, you would want the app to stop what it was doing, rollback any data changes, and inform the user of the error, rather on error resume than just resuming.

A good example is in the resize event. If you make a mistake or there's a problem in the resize event then you probably don't want the user to see this, as it probably wouldn't affect functionality. I would say in general, use it sparingly. share|improve this answer answered May 3 '10 at 20:16 pm_2 4,8152291176 1 +1. Use it sp
Database Guide User login Username: * Password: * Request new password Home › Tutorials Error handling in Visual Basic Level: Error handling is essential to all professional applications. Any number of run-time errors can occur, and if your program does not trap them, the VB default action is to report the error and then terminate the program (often resulting in the end user calling you and complaining, "Your program kicked me out!"). By placing error-handling code in your program, you can trap a run-time error, report it, and let the user continue. Sometimes the user will be able to correct the error and sometimes not, but simply allowing the program to crash is not acceptable. You should generally place error-handling code in any Sub or Function that accesses files or databases. Your code will typically interrogate the Number and Description properties of the built-in VB Err object in an error-handling routine set up with the On Error statement. In this section, we will look at the following statements: On Error GoTo label On Error Resume Next Following is a brief tutorial in error-handling. To perform this tutorial, you should have a floppy disk handy. Also, in the VB IDE, make sure that the Break on Unhandled Errors option is set under Tools à Options à General. STEPS: 1. Start a new project. 2. Place four command buttons on the form. Name them and set their Captions as follows: Name Caption cmdCrash Crash cmdGoToLabel GoTo Label cmdGoTo0 GoTo 0 cmdResumeNext Resume Next Your form should look something like this: 3. Code the cmdCrash_Click event as follows: Private Sub cmdCrash_Click() Open "A:\JUNK.TXT" For Input As #1 MsgBox "File was opened successfully" Close #1 End Sub 4. Place your floppy disk in the A: drive. Run the program and click the Crash button. Assuming that you do not have a file called "JUNK.TXT" on your A: disk, the program will "bomb" with the code/message "53 – File Not Found". If you don't have a disk in drive A:, the code/messa
