When you use error handlers in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications code, the error handlers are ignored if you have the Break On All Errors option selected in the Options dialog box. Instead of running the error handler as expected, the code stops and the corresponding error message appears, just as if there were no error handler.
To turn off the Break On All Errors option in Microsoft Excel versions 5.0 and 7.0, follow these steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. In the Options dialog box, click the Module General tab.
3. Click to clear the Break On All Errors check box.
4. Click OK.
