Hello, I am not too familiar with errors in my code and was hoping for
some help with this please.

I have a control box linked to a stock spreadsheet. After I update this
box(Which is for the stock number), the label next to it will update
with the stock item description. My code does a vlookup for this
value:

Public Sub BinNumber1_AfterUpdate()
Description1 = (WorksheetFunction.VLookup(BinNumber1.Value,
Worksheets("Current Stock").Range("A:B"), 2, False))
End Sub

This works fine if a valid stock number is entered but if someone
enters a bogus number I would like my msgbox to appear saying "Bad
stock number blah blah.." instead of VB opening for debugging.

Thanks in advance for any help.

John

I usually use code that does a countif, than if it eguals 0 I send a message
to the user.

If WorksheetFunction.Countif(Worksheets("Current Stock").Range("A:B"),
BinNumber1)= 0 then
Msgbox "Bin Number Invalid"
exit sub
Else
'''' your code here
End if
