For example, instead of using
use:
This code ensures that you do not receive the overflow error message. MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Excel, the Err object contains information about run-time errors that occur when you run a Visual Basic macro. You can determine the value of the last run-time error that occurs by reading the value of the Err object. For example, the following line of code sets the variable (ErrNum) equal to the value of the last run-time error that occurs:
You can use the Raise method of the Err object to generate a run-time error with any value. For example, to generate a run-time error whose value is 50000, use the following code:
If you use this code and set the value of a variable equal to the value of the Err object, as in the following code
you receive an overflow error if the variable (ErrNum) is dimensioned as type Integer. NOTE: All run-time errors generated by Microsoft Excel should have a value between -32768 and 32767. Therefore, you receive an overflow error only after you use Err.Raise to change the value of the Err object to a non-Integer value. Additional query words: 9.0 vbe XL2000
