error runtime 9: deleting a worksheet
 
Hello,
I wrote following code and sometimes I get an runtime error 9. I don't
really know when and why this error occurs. The value of test is never
empty.


On Error GoTo Marke
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
test = Worksheets("Länderansicht").Range("A" & i).Value
''''''''FEHLER'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''
Worksheets(test).Select ''''''''''HIER TRITT DER FEHLER AUF
'''''''FEHLER''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''
Worksheets("Länderansicht").Select
Worksheets("Länderansicht").Activate
Worksheets(test).Delete
Marke:
Application.DisplayAlerts = True


Tanks a lot,
Michael

You would get this error if test does not match the name of a sheet in the
activeworkbook. (could be a spelling error or a matter of extra spaces or
example)

error runtime 9: deleting a worksheet
 
I don't really understand why I get an error when I try to delete a
worksheet
that does not exist. That's the reason I put the "on error" statement
around the code. Is it possible to test whether the worksheet "test"
exists
or not?

Thanks,
Michael

Normally you wouldn't since you have an error handler. I suspect this is
in a loop and you never get out of error handling mode after you encounter
the first sheet that doesn't exist - so you get the error the second time
you encounter a sheet that does not exist -- an error in error handling mode
halts execution.

Try this:

On Error GoTo Marke
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
test = Worksheets("Länderansicht").Range("A" & i).Value
''''''''FEHLER'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''
Worksheets(test).Select ''''''''''HIER TRITT DER FEHLER AUF
'''''''FEHLER''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''
Worksheets("Länderansicht").Select
Worksheets("Länderansicht").Activate
Worksheets(test).Delete
Marke:
Resume NextMarke
NextMarke:
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

That's right! I always get the error the second time a worksheet doesn't
exist. Is there any possibility to get out of this error mode?

Thanks,
Michael
