Default Code for dealing with #REF

I gave you a worksheet formula because it wasn't clear to me whether you
were writing code or writing formulas.

While I'm still not sure what you're doing, you can check a cell like this
for an error value:

If IsError(Cells(RowToFind, ColToFind).Value) Then
MsgBox "Error"
End If

or like this:

If IsError(Range("C9").Value) Then
MsgBox "Error"
End If

Or with its range name if you've assigned one.

| You can trap REFs or any kind of errors in cell values like this:

| =IF(ISERROR(SUM(A1:A10)),0,SUM(A1:A10))
|
| Excel 2007 has a shorter form:
|
| =IFERROR(SUM(A1:A10),0)
|
| You'd of course replace the 0 with another formula.
