I have a simple Sub with an Error Handler:

CODE

Private Sub Test()

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
...

Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
'Deal with the error

End Sub

The program generates a few errors, but only first one goes to the ErrorHandler, the rest just display the message in VBA IDE about the error.

I don't have anywhere On Error GoTo 0 or anything.
I did try all setting options in Tools - Options... - General tab - Error Trapping frame

How do I trap all errors, not just the first one? ponder

Hi,

Resume

CODE

Private Sub Test()

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
...

Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
'Deal with the error
Resume
End Sub

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
...
ThePlace:
...
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
'Deal with the error
GoTo ThePlace

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.

The same (almost), no GoTo: ~~GoTo ThePlace~~ Resume ThePlace smile

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 --> VB

Private Sub Test()

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
...
ThePlace:
...
On Error GoTo 0  'This allows errors to be handled 'up the stack'
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
'Deal with the error
Resume ThePlace

End Sub
