see help on the resume command. Once an error occurs, you are in error
handling mode. If another error occurs in error handling mode, then Excel
gives up. Since you never use the resume command, you never leave error
handling mode.

Why does the On Error function only work when there is
one error? See code below which produces a subscript
error for b14 if value is entered incorrectly more than
once. Why doesn't "wrongteam" error loop keep running
until b14 is entered correctly?

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim TargRange As Range
Dim UTeamName
Range("b14:b32").ClearContents
Range("a1").Select
REDO:
Range("b14").Value = InputBox("Team Name?", "Enter")
UTeamName = Range("b14").Value

On Error GoTo WrongTeam
Set TargRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(UTeamName).Range
("a2")

WrongTeam:
Msg = "Team Name does not exist, please re-enter" '
this defines the message
Style = vbOKCancel ' this defines the answer buttons
Title = "Data Entry Error" ' this is message box title
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
GoTo REDO
