Default Why does Match statement in VBA fail on cells with errors in t

Actually, this line of code is failing on everthing not just error statements
in cells. Its a type 13 Error Mismatch. I posted this earlier today. When
i got to the Immediate Window, I can see that the array has values in it and
also that the match search term can be recognized.

Immediate Window
?cell.Parent.Name & "!" & cell.Address
Error Messages!$B$4

?UniqueCellAddressArray3(0)
Unique Formulas!$C$2

Public Cell As Range

Private Sub CheckAddressAgainstUniquelist()
If UniqueFormulasAdjustChkBx = True Then
If Not IsError(Application.Match(Cell.Parent.Name & "!" & Cell.Address,
UniqueCellAddressArray3, 0) - 1) Then
Flag = False
Else
Flag = True
End If
Else
Flag = False
End If
End Sub

When Excel evaluates

Match(cell.Parent.Name & "!" & cell.Address

it becomes

Match(error value

Try catching the error sooner:

If Not IsError(cell.value) then
.....

I have a line of code only that only fails when the public variable "cell"
has an error
statement in it (i.e. Div/0, REF# #####, NAME! etc). The variable is
dimensioned as a Range.

As I am simply pulling the variables address proptery and Parent Name into
the Match, why would these error statements matter? The idea below is that
if the Match fails, i error handle it with the ISERROR sttm. Yet the actual
cell errors in the spreadsheet itself seem to make this line of code fail.
Why is that? Thanks

Not IsError(Application.Match(cell.Parent.Name & "!" & cell.Address,
UniqueCellAddressArray3, 0) - 1)
