1. Excel Vba On Error Resume Next Not Working
2. Excel Vba Resume Next
3. Vba On Error Resume Next For Each Loop

I have the following code:

My problem is if there is an error on the page, my code is not running after that. I think the solution should be with:

Resume Next Case Else ' catch all Err Call MsgBox(Err.Description & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & 'There was an error, but I'm ignoring it', vbInformation + vbOKOnly, 'Error'). Thanks for contributing an answer to Stack Overflow! Please be sure to answer the question.Provide details and share your research! Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. In this tutorial, we will brief you on Error Handling mechanism that is used in the VBScript with methods like VBScript On Error, On Error GoTo 0, On Error Resume Next.

But I don't know how to use this code.

I have interpreted your requirement as to how to handle common worksheet errors when looping through a range of cells and examining the values. If you attempt to look at a cell that contains an error (e.g. #N/A, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, etc) you will get something like:

These can be caught with VBA's IsError function.

In the above, I am catching the cells with an error and coloring them green. Note that I am examining them for errors before I check for a zero length.

It depends on what you want to do.

• On Error Resume Next will ignore the fact that the error occurred. This is a great way to get your code to execute to completion, but will just about guarantee that it won't do what you want.
• On Error Goto 0 is the default response. It will pop up the error message that VBA is generating
• On Error Goto <label> will cause your code to jump to a specified label when an error occurs and allows you to take an appropriate action based on the error code.

The last option, On Error Goto <label> is usually the most useful, and you'll want to do some digging on how to best use it for your application.

This site is where I got the details above from, and is usually the first results that comes from Googling for 'excel vba on error'. I've used that reference myself a number of times.

I generally try to avoid On Error Resume Next as it will try to continue no matter what the error (there are some cases where it's useful though).

The code below passes all errors out of the procedure where they can be handled on a case by case basis.

Excel Vba Resume Next

I'm reading up on how to use On Error Resume Next and I'm trying to figure out how long that line will apply to the program. On the Microsoft site, I found this sentence: 'An On Error Resume Next statement becomes inactive when another procedure is called.' What exactly does this mean? What is considered to be a procedure?

I ask because I'm using the line in my program, but I don't want it to Resume Next all the runtime errors which occur, just the obvious one on the next line.

Code:

I've also found (and known for a while) that On Error or GoTo lines are considered poor coding. Is there a Try-Catch which I can use for a line like this?

I'm thinking something like this:

Vba On Error Resume Next For Each Loop

Where I don't even do anything with it, as I don't feel a need to.

Thanks for your time.

You only want to use 'On Error Resume Next' when

1. You know why the error occurs.

2. You know that it will not affect other parts of the code.

3. You use 'On Error Goto 0' immediately after the code where the error occurs.

Having said that, you should almost NEVER use it. You should figure out why the error occurs and code to handle it.

What the website is saying is that once your are out of the sub or function that called it the resume next will no longer be in affect and your errors will raise as they should.

A better alternative is to use goto in this fashion. But some people frown on this almost as much.

SCOPE OF ON ERROR.. STATEMENT

The effec5 of ON ERROR .. ends as soon as one of the following is encountered:

1. Another ON ERROR ... (Maybe in the form of ON ERROR RESUME x or ON ERROR GOTO x)
2. Exit Sub / Exit Function within the same sub/function where defined.
3. End Sub / End Function of the sub/function where defined.

IS IT BAD TO USE ON ERROR RESUME NEXT?

Yes and No.

I would say don't use without knowing what the effect of this statement would be. Avoid if possible. Keep the scope short wherever not possible.

To nullify the effect of an ON ERROR RESUME NEXT statement, you can call ON ERROR GOTO 0

To answer your question 'How long does On Error Resume Next work?'

The answer is: until the next definition of On error ..

So if you define an On error resume next, it will skip every error until you define a On error goto 0 or On error goto label

You don't always need a bunch of code to handle an error, but you really should do something with it. Maybe just have your code change the cells.font.color property to vbRed. Simply doing On Error Resume Next (a line of code that might error) On Error Goto 0 is terribly poor form.

And like others have pointed out, On Error Goto Label is essentially VBA's version of Try .. Catch, and I use it frequently
