Hi,

Resume

Code:

Private Sub Test()

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
...

Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
'Deal with the error
[b]Resume[/b]
End Sub

Skip,

In Skip's code - you can use Resume or Resume Next, depending to which line you plan to return.

Actually, the code I have is to validate data against my data base, so the errors are in the dynamically created Select statements. When that happens, I wanted to use a GoTo (even though I don't like using GoTo's) and go to a code label:

Code:

Private Sub Test()

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
...[blue]
ThePlace:[/blue]
...
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
'Deal with the error[blue]
GoTo ThePlace[/blue]

End Sub

That's why Resume or Resume Next would not work because I don't want to re-execute the line of code that created the error, or execute next line of code. I want to 'jump' (GoTo) somewhere else in the code.

Thanks combo
I always used Resume or Resume Next, but never Resume [label] and I didn't even know about it.

It allows to exit error handling part of procedure and continue (a good article by Chip Pearson).

You can also reset the error handling:

Code:

Private Sub Test()

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
...
ThePlace:
...
[COLOR=#3465A4][b]On Error GoTo 0[/b][/color]  'This allows errors to be handled 'up the stack'
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
'Deal with the error
Resume ThePlace

End Sub
