    On Error Resume Next

That makes me shudder.

At one point in a previous life, I was the administrator for HP Quality Center at my company. On the good side, HP exposes the entire workflow in VBA (ok, I guess that isn't that good actually, but still better than black box).

On the horrible side, EVERY SINGLE FUNCTION in that application began with the line "On Error Resume Next". I quite nearly quit on the spot the first time I looked at the code. A couple years later, I would regret that decision.

There are probably valid use cases, but no programmer can be trusted with that kind of power.
