Default UDF/VBA Function, trap error, avoid #VALUE!

I have created a function that returns a string. When it fails, Excel
reports "#VALUE!". I would like to report my description of the error
instead. I have tried to use error handling, but it seems to be
ignored. In the area in which I "Try to do some useful Stuff", an error

occasionally occurs. The debugger shows that control does not transfer
to my ErrorHandler. Instead, execution ends immediately, and the cell
value is set to "#VALUE!".

Public Function myFunction() As String
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler


' Try to do some useful Stuff


myFunction = "RESULT"


FunctionExit:
Exit Function


ErrorHandler:
Err.Clear
myFunction = "My Error Description"
Resume FunctionExit


End Function


Thanks for your assistance!
