Does 'On Error Resume Next' reset error?

I am using On Error Resume Next within a for...next loop, and need to check if an error occurs within each loop. I'm wondering if the On Error Resume Next statement itself clears any existing error?

For example, in Sub A below, the On Error Resume Next statement is inside the loop, versus B, where it's outside the loop but Err.Clear is used to clear any error at the end of the loop.

Code:
[FONT=Verdana]Sub A()
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]    For i = 1 To 10
    
        On Error Resume Next
        
        ' Other code here
    
    Next I
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]End Sub[/FONT]


Code:
[FONT=Verdana]Sub B()
    
    On Error Resume Next
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]    For i = 1 To 10
        
        ' Other code here
        
        If Err.Number <> 0 Then Err.Clear
    
    Next I
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]End Sub
[/FONT]

As far as I can tell, both result in Err.Number being 0 just before "' Other Code here".

Is there any advantage/preference between the two? Note I only care about Err.Number being 0 or not when I am checking for error.

Thanks

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
It does, but I would use Sub B just because it makes clear what the code is doing.
