I have been using an Error Handler in a routine. I have
been getting an Error 1004. When I use the Error Handler,
the routine seems to go to the Error Handler but does not
bring up the message box as dictated by the Error
Handler. Is this because Error 1004 is an error generated
outside of VBA? Note that when I do not use the Error
HAndler code, VBA naturally displays an error alert with
the error number (1004). Why does this not still happen
when I use this error handler?


On Error Goto Err_Hndlr

'Code here

CleanUp:
Application.StatusBar = ""
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Other stuff to clean up
Exit Sub

Err_Hndlr:
MsgBox Err.Number & Err.Description
Resume CleanUp

End Sub

I don't see anything wrong with the code you presented. It might be in
something you didn't show as, fleshing out your example, the message box
appears for me:

Sub a()
Dim x As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_Hndlr
x = 1 / 0
CleanUp:
MsgBox "exiting"
Exit Sub

Err_Hndlr:
MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
Resume CleanUp
End Sub
