Trapping Errors [RESOLVED]

[TheVader]

Why isn't my error trapped? I've built a code which uses two loops. Since I don't have good conditions to restrict the number of loops I use error trapping for it. But I still get errors that stop the execution of the app (5 - Invalid procedure call or argument) although the line above the one that causes the error is 'On Error Goto EndTags'...

The code follows this format. If this doesn't help I'll post my code. Thanks.

Do
  On Error Goto EndTags
 
  If ...
 
    On Error Goto EndAttributes
    Do
 
    Loop
 
  EndAttributes:
  End If
Loop
 
EndTags:

Hope this helps

Check under Options and the General Tab. Make sure you have your setting set to "Break on un-Handled errors".

What you have there won't work. Once you raise the first error and go to end attributes, you remain in that error handler. A second error won't take you to the next point, it will just cause an error. You must leave the error handler before entering another one. You need a resume, Resume Next, or exit sub somewhere in there, or a second error won't be handled.

Even if you can get it to work, there is probably a better way to do it. Can nyou post more of your code?

I wasn't going to go there, but using an error handler to terminate a loop is a little odd.

[MartinLiss]

That was my point.

Thanks for the info Hiker, I didn't know two labels couldn't be handled at the same time. But indeed, ending a loop with error handling is a little harsh. I looked into it again and I found another way to restrict one of the loops. Thanks guys.
