That first example does not throw an error as the object is not declared, so
it is interpreted as a string and compared against "Nothing" and succeeds.

bob,

Thanks for the feed back, but please re-read the post.

I already knew that this syntax is incorrect (I stated that in the
comments). I intentionally had that in there to trigger a
legitimate error. That is not where the problem lies. When I have this
incorrect syntax in the code, the error handler works
correctly, BUT when I use [Ctrl] + [Break], the error handler does not
work correctly.

Any more thoughts on the matter will be greatly appreciated,

Conan

Hello all,

Using Excel 2002 (10.6501.6626) SP3

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS DRIVING ME
NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been working on this for several days now and I think that I have
finally narrowed it down to this:

How can I get this to work correctly when I interrupt execution with
[Ctrl] + [Break]?


With the following code, the error handler works correctly:

Sub PasteReplaceNulls()
On Error GoTo PasteReplaceNulls_Err

Application.EnableCancelKey = xlErrorHandler

If mrngCurrRange = "Nothing" Then
' I KNOW THIS SYNTAX IS INCORRECT. I'VE ALREADY FOUND OUT
THE
CORRECT SYNTAX. This is just here to trigger a
legitimate error.
End If

'Statements that will cause the macro to run for a long time,
hence the need for "Application.EnableCancelKey =
xlErrorHandler" above

PasteReplaceNulls_Err:
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Name & vbCrLf & ActiveSheet.Name & vbCrLf
&
Selection.Address

Exit Sub

End Sub



BUT with the following code AND INTERRUPTING EXECUTION WITH [Ctrl] +
[Break], the error handler does not work correctly. Instead, I
get this error message:

Sub PasteReplaceNulls()
On Error GoTo PasteReplaceNulls_Err

Application.EnableCancelKey = xlErrorHandler

'Statements that will cause the macro to run for a long time,
hence the need for "Application.EnableCancelKey =
xlErrorHandler" above

PasteReplaceNulls_Err:
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Name & vbCrLf & ActiveSheet.Name & vbCrLf
&
Selection.Address

Exit Sub

End Sub
