WD: Cannot Trap WordBasic Error 124 with On Error Command |
Q82113
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word versions 2.0a and later, the WordBasic Error 124, "Undefined Sub or Function," cannot be trapped with the On Error command.
MORE INFORMATION
In previous versions of Word for Windows, the following method of error trapping could be used to skip over an undefined subroutine, function, or command:
Sub Main On Error Goto Done Mysub Done: End Sub
Error trapping does not work with undefined subroutines, functions, or commands. The On Error command was designed to trap user errors (such as choosing the Cancel button in a dialog box) rather than program errors. To avoid WordBasic Error 124, the macro must be designed so that it does not call an undefined subroutine, function, or command.
