You didn't like a suggestion from yesterday?

If you drop the .worksheetfunction, you can test for the error:

dim mtch as Variant 'could return an error

mtch = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup( _
Worksheets("Nabanco").Cells(nr, 14).Value, _
Worksheets("RDMTemp").Range("A1:T5000"), _
20, False)

if iserror(mtch) then
'it returned an error
else
'no error
end if

I have an error handling process within a For...next loop. If error 1004
occurs then the error handler gets activated. Once the error handling is
finished the next record in the loop is processed.

I am using a vlookup to match a value in a column. If the value does not
exist, I get error 1004. I put the following error handler in which works
great the first time through the loop but if a second lookup value does not
exist the error handling process does not get activated.

For nr = 2 to lnr
On Error GoTo errorhandler:
mtch = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup( _
snamt, ActiveSheet.Range("T1:T5000"), 1, False)
code to process if there is a match as a result of the lookup
errorhandler:
If Err = 1004 Then
Worksheets("NABTemp").Activate
Rows(nr).Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 6
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
Err.Clear
End If
next nr

Thanks,
Mike
