Question

I’m looking for user ID #s from a list. However some users no longer exist. I’ve tried the test method, the on error go to method, and if err.number<> 0 then method. I still receive the Run-time error '91': object variable or with block variable not set. The number does not exist on the the list. Below is my code with a couple of fruitless attempts

On Error GoTo errorLn

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
 GoTo errorLn
End If
Cells.Find(What:=uSSO, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
    LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
    MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Select

What other options are there? Or am I misplacing the lines of “error”? I have tried it before and after the “cells.Find…”

I believe you’ll need to restructure it just a little bit. It is not the best practice to handle errors with On Error Resume Next, but you could try this:

On Error Resume Next
Cells.Find(What:=uSSO, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
    LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
    MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Select

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
 '''Do your error stuff'''
 GoTo errorLn
Else
    Err.Clear
End If

Does that work for your situation?
