Question

I am doing project in powerpoint 2007 automation. In that i am using macro programming (VBA). I am getting the following error while run the macro.

Err.Number= -2147024809 (80070057)

but my concern is not with error Because i want to catch this error and base on this error i want to perform some action.

Thats why i try to code like this for error handing code:

OnError Goto Err:
'some code

Err:
If Err.number = -2147024809 (80070057) then
'do something
end if
Resume next

So bascially if i write error number in this way then its not allow it. it gives error.

and major thing is when error occurs sometime it did not go to “Err : “. It just pop-up error with “End” and “Debug” options.

While it seems to work, I’d be cautious about using a reserved object name (Err) as a label, for one thing.

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

' Your code here

' Make sure you don't hit the errorhandler when there's
' no error:
NormalExit:
Exit Sub ' or Function, whichever this is

ErrorHandler:
If err.Number = 123456788 Then
    ' Take corrective action
    ' then continue
    Resume Next
End If
' Trap other specific or general errors here

' Then make sure you know where you're going to exit:
Resume NormalExit

If you need to trap very specific errors that might occur only at certain places in your code, you can also do a local errorhandler:

On Error Resume Next

' Some code that might cause problems

' Did it throw the error you're trying to trap?
If Err.Number = 12398745 then 
  ' Corrective action
End If

' And now we return to our regularly scheduled error trapping
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
