VBA Error Handling
What if Auto check syntax is disabled?
If Auto check syntax is disabled it will still highlight the line of code with the error but won’t show the error message.
How syntax errors and compiler errors are related?
A syntax error is also a type of compiler error. A syntax error occurs when you press the enter button and VBA identifies that something is missing. Also, compilation error is detected when VBA doesn’t find anything missing while typing the code but it does when the code is compiled or executed.
What are parsing errors?
Syntax errors are also known as parsing errors.
What is the difference between Err.Clear and OnError GoTo -1?
Although both are used to reset Err.Number to 0. But the only difference is Err. Clear does not reset the actual errors themselves. It only resets the Err. Number.
That means by using Err. Clear users will not be able to change the error handling setting.
VBA Error Handling
In a VBA code, there may be some errors like syntax errors, compilation errors, or runtime errors so we need to handle these errors. Suppose there is a code of 200 lines and the code has an error it’s very difficult to find an error in the code of 200 lines so it’s better to handle the error where we are expecting some error in our code. There are many error handling methods in VBA which we will discuss in this article but before that, we will discuss types of error.
