Default Frozen Status Bar upon Errors

You can set a "general error handler" in your main sub and if there is no
error handler set at a given point of execution, error handling will fall
through to it:

Sub Main()
On Error GoTo GeneralHandler
Call Sub1
Exit Sub
GeneralHandler:
MsgBox "in general error handler"
End Sub

Sub Sub1()
Dim x As Integer
Call Sub2
x = "abc" 'will be caught in Main error handler
End Sub

Sub Sub2()
Dim x As Integer
On Error GoTo Sub3Handler
x = "abc"
Exit Sub
Sub3Handler:
MsgBox "in sub3 handler"
End Sub

| Application.StatusBar = ""
