Bypass Error Q

[Sean]

I have a simple piece of code below that refresh's some web queries to
get stock prices. What I have encountered is that sometimes a
particular query will return an error (web page not available etc),
what I wish to do, is if that happens, just bypass the particular
query and move to the next one.

How would I incorporate that in to be code?

Sub GetLatestPrices()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Web Prices").Activate
ActiveSheet.Visible = True

Range("A3").Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Range("A14").Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Range("A25").Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

You can ignore errors by using an On Error Resume Next statement. Note
that this does not by any measure *fix* an error; it merely ignores
the error and allows the code to continue running. The error may have
side effects. Generally, a blanket On Error Resume Next is dangerous
because it ignores all errors, not just a particular type of error,
but in the context of a small procedure like the one you illustrate,
it is probably fine to use on On Error Resume Next statement for the
entire procedure. E.g,

Sub GetLatestPrices()
On Error Resume Next
' your existing code goes here
End Sub

I have quite a bit of information about error handling at
