The reason the second error is not getting trapped is because the first
error is still in affect. So when the program gets to the second error
trap the program is still in an error condition so it executes the goto
statement.

Try it this way:

Sub MySub()
Dim r as Range
Dim isA as Boolean
Dim isB as Boolean

isA = False
isB = False

TryA:
On Error GoTo TryB
Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("AAA")
isA= True
GoTo Proceed

TryB:
On Error GoTo 0 'This should clear the previous error.
On Error GoTo Proceed
Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("BBB")
isB = True
GoTo Proceed

Proceed:
If isAThen
doAStuff
ElseIf isB Then
doBStuff
End If
End Sub

*Hi,

I'm going nuts trying to solve the following problem. If I execute
the
following code when the active sheet has no named ranges, the first
error is
trapped successfully, but the second one does not get trapped and
the
execution breaks!

Sub MySub()
Dim r as Range
Dim isA as Boolean
Dim isB as Boolean

isA = False
isB = False

TryA:
On Error GoTo TryB
Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("AAA")
isA= True
GoTo Proceed

TryB:
On Error GoTo Proceed
Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("BBB")
isB = True
GoTo Proceed

Proceed:
If isAThen
doAStuff
ElseIf isB Then
doBStuff
End If
End Sub

Perhaps it's invalid to have 2 "On Error" statements? In any case, I
will
really appreciate your help!
