I was pretty sure I knew how collections worked, but why do I get a run time
error (457) with this macro? Doesn't the On Error Resume Next trap that
error? XL2000, Win98SE.

Sub test()

Dim theColl As New Collection

theColl.Add "me", "me"
On Error Resume Next
theColl.Add "me", "me"
On Error GoTo 0

End Sub

Thanks.

Thanks for checking. I don't remember any problems with collection in 2000,
but maybe there is. BTW, I tested it in XL97 and had no problem.

Thanks Bob and Ron.

I don't know what the heck's going on here. I regserver'ed, code cleaned
and rebooted all to no avail. That's the extent of my troubleshooting
skills, so I'll be using a workaround until I can start messing with it.

Hi Dick,

Sounds like you have the 'Break on all Errors' option set.
Check your VBE options, Error trapping is on the General tab.

Try one of the other 2 options.

Yep, that was it. I wonder how that got changed? I choose to believe that
it was a malicious virus instead of my own carelessness. Thanks.
