In this VBA Error Handling set I’ll talk about using the error object
Here is a chart referencing the Error object’s properties for you to reference:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Number |
The number of the error. |
| Description | The description of the error. |
| Source | The name of the object or application that originally generated the error. |
…CODE EXAMPLE
Public Sub ErrObjectSample()
On Error GoTo errHandler
'Causes error:
x = 1 / 0
Exit Sub
errHandler:
'Select the case of the Err Object:
Select Case Err.Number
'Division by zero error:
Case 11
MsgBox "You cannot divide by zero.", vbExclamation, APP_NAME
Case Else
'Some other error occured, so show a generic error message.
MsgBox "An error resulted", vbCritical, APP_NAME
End Select
End Sub
“APP_NAME” is a constant I declared in the General Declarations section of the module. You may want to put all these declarations in a module by themselves.
Public Const APP_NAME =Erik's Project
