Hi Robert,
Firstly I assume that you mean you are running a Sub in another workbook; not a Function. A Function usually refers to User Defined Function (UDF for short). Now to check if the called Sub actually runs, insert a MsgBox with a message immediately after the Sub name that indicates that the sub has been called. (Can delete it after testing) As for errors, the real test of this is "Does it do what it is supposed to do?" However, you can insert an On Error Goto ErrorRoutine where ErrorRoutine is a label which is normally just before the End Sub. On the line prior to the label you insert Exit Sub so that if it gets to the Exit Sub then it has completed without error and exits and the only way it processes the code after ErrorRoutine is if an error sent it to there. Example where Test is the called sub. Sub Test() MsgBox "Sub Test has been called. Click OK to continue." On Error Goto ErrorRoutine 'Your code here Exit Sub 'If gets to here then finished so exit. ErrorRoutine: 'Note the Colon at the end of the label. 'You might be able to insert more info in the message re the error Msgbox "An error has been encountered" End Sub. Having said all that, if you are calling the sub from code in a Forms module, sometimes if there is a compile error in the code then the sub simply does not run or it locks up Excel. Always compile your code before running it and there is a possiblility that some errors witll be detected. To compile code, Select Menu item Debug - Compile. Note that compile does not necessarily detect errors of logic in the code. -- Regards, OssieMac |
