how to suppress error message excel vba
Posted on 2012-12-20
hey guys, how do i suppress this error message? i already tried application.displayalerts = false and added on error resume next, but when i run the code (F5), once it hits the errors it exits.
i'm trying to delete all the named ranges in excel
Sub test()
Dim x As Integer
x = 1
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
For x = 1 To 100
ActiveWorkbook.Names(x).De
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
i tried do until err<>0 but the same problem still happens - once it hits an invalid reference it stops. thanks guys!!

It's better to write code that avoids errors by design as much as possible. Is the error occurring after all worksheets are deleted?
Instead of using 100 as an upper limit, use the number of worksheets.
Application.worksheets.cou

Sorry you're dealing with named ranges.
I'm not an Excel expert, but does this get the total count?
ActiveWorkbook.names.count

Just got a chance to test this. This seems to work without error:
Anyhow, the idea is to write code that avoids errors by design, and to add error handling to trap unexpected errors.
Dim nr As Name
For Each nr In ActiveWorkbook.Names
Debug.Print nr.Name
nr.Delete
Next

Basic/Generic error handler:
Sub YourSubName()
On Error GoTo Err_YourSubName
********** Your Code Goes Here **********
Exit_YourSubName:
Exit Sub
Err_YourSubName:
MsgBox "There was an error executing the command." _
& vbCrLf & "Error " & Err.Number & ": " _
& vbCrLf & Error, vbExclamation
Resume Exit_YourSubName
End Sub

whao guys, no points wanted and researching an unfamiliar topic just to help me, i'm really touched and appreciative of how yall take the time to help me out in the problems i face. maybe i'm a bit naive but i definitely couldn't imagine someone going out of the way to help their fellows or someone they don't know - i'm really appreciative guys = )
pratima thanks for looking into this but i think docmd is for Access not Excel, i tried it in Excel and it couldn't work - not found in the object library. but thanks! = )

...In my case, I only posted a very basic example of a generic error handler.
In other words, ...any expert here could have posted the same thing...
(No research needed)
My post did nothing to actually "answer" your question, it was just extra info.
In the end, and to be honest, ...I have done well this year "point-wise", so I saw no reason to appear greedy for a simple post like that.
So AFAICT, you can still request that my post be removed from the points split.
..."There will always be another Question"
