err

Err is a system variable that contains 0 if no error or an error number.

On Error Resume Next

' do something

If Err <> 0 then
   'handle the error
End If

Some commonly occurring errors are:
  • 9 Subscript out of range
  • 5 Invalid Procedure call
  • 53 File not found
  • 75 Directory Already Exists
  • 1004 - Application-defined or object-defined error

    err = 7:? error

    for i = 1 to 300:if instr(error(i),"Application-defined") > 0 then ? i,error(i):next



    try the following code to view all errors:

    sub show_errors()

    for i = 1 to 1000
