Question

Is there a best practice for naming the error handling section? How about the resume label? I use “ErrorHandler:” and “ProcExit:”. Thanks.

Not really – apart from making sure it’s reasonable. If I’m using On Error Resume Next however I usually indent the code after it, e.g.:

On Error Reume Next
   ' Do something at might cause an error
   If Err.Number <> 0 Then
      ' Do something to recover from error
   End If
On Error Goto 0 'or Goto errorhandler to restore that.

This gives a clear visual clue that you’ve temporarily disabled the normal error handling for a short period.

For the error handler label, I’ve used various including the dull ‘ErrorHandler’ and the rather more prosaic label ‘OopsSorryIveCockedItUpAgain’. Both are fairly meaningful though 🙂
