Excel Common Error Handler

The VBA code illustrates a common error handler technique. Keep in mind there are three forms of the On Error Statement. All three of these clear any previous error codes (Err.Number and Err.Description):

(1) On Error GoTo Line (A User Defined Error Handling Routine)
(2) On Error GoTo 0 (Turns Off User Error Handling)
(3) On Error Resume Next (Ignores the Error And Executes The Next Statement)

The code examples also illustrate the following:

(1) Err.Clear (Clear Error Codes But Leave Any User Error Handlers Still Active)
(2) Resume (Clear Error Codes But Leave Any User Error Handlers Still Active)

For a list of all error codes, see VBA Error Codes.
