I realise this is an older programming environment, but I have to clean up some VB6 code and I am finding that most of it uses:
On Error Resume Next
What is the general consensus about the use of On Error Resume Next?
Surely, if there is an error, you would want the app to stop what it was doing, rollback any data changes, and inform the user of the error, rather than just resuming.
When is it a good idea to use On Error Resume Next?
I have found it useful in functions where an error would not warrant the user being interrupted with the issue. A good example is in the resize event. If you make a mistake or there’s a problem in the resize event then you probably don’t want the user to see this, as it probably wouldn’t affect functionality.
I would say in general, use it sparingly.
