On Errror Goto Error handler only works first time through "For Each" cycle
Where's my bug? I have a nice module for selecting a range of cells
in workbookA, opening a workbookB based on the cell contents, and transferring some data back to workbook A. If one of the selected cells is not an appropriate entry, I have an error handler set up to give a little message and move on to the next cell. The problem is that the error handler only works once! If a given cell triggers the error handler, it routes properly to my message box and then on to process the next cell in the selection. But if a second cell is "improper", the error handler is not triggered, and the resulting error message terminates the module. I have already tried getting rid of the "On Error Goto 0" to end error trapping, that didn't make any difference. (Not that I thought it should, because error trapping should be reinitiated the next cycle through the "For Each" statement, right?) here's some (simplified) code: Set MyRange = Selection For each cell in MyRange.Cells MyRow = cell.row MySampleName = Cells(MyRow, 2).Value MyPath = "\\c\data\" & MySampleName & ".xls" On Error GoTo Errorhandler Workbooks.Open Filename:=MyPath On Error GoTo 0 '...here is a bunch of data manipulation, works fine, not interesting NextCell: Next Cell Exit Sub Errorhandler: MsbBox "Not a valid Sample Name." GoTo NextCell End Sub |
