range ("a2").formula = (vlookup(WHAT TO LOOK UP)

Can anybody explain to me the way the on error statement works ie if i have the above text and want it to break the sub do i put an on error end sub before or after the above vlookup statment and do i need a on error statement for every line of code or will one on error end sub at the beggining of the sub routine suffice for all the text.
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
on error in itself will just cause the code to break and do what ever you tell it to, one on eror statemnet will work at the beggining of your code if you alway swant it to do the same thing when it errors, if you want the code to just continue on the next instruction after an error then
on error resume next

is what you need. If you want the code to exit the routine altogether then try something like this

Sub yourcode ()

On error gotto errortrap:

your code goes here

exit sub
errortrap:
exit sub

end sub

On Error works with errors in VBA code.

Are you trying to trap an error in the Vlookup?
