This is often overlooked and of vital importance to successfully using On Error Resume Next. Using the statement by itself is usually fine but, as noted, errors are ignored and the code moves on. You don't have to stop here, however, as there are plenty of times you want to know the error before moving on, make a note of it, perform some other action, etc. In those instances where you might expect an error you can test the value of the Error object. Here's an example using your code: sgSQL = "DROP TABLE tblTempDP;" On Error Resume Next DoCmd.RunSQL sgSQL If Err <> 0 Then strErr = Now() & " " & Err.Number & _ ", " & Err.Description & " executing " & _ sgSQL LogError '(a logging routine you might consider building) Err.Clear End If With this information logged, you can finish the job and have a reference to which parts of the process failed and records of why the failure occurred.
