  I find error handling seems to "bubble up". In other words,
an HTA Button1_onclick might have On Error Resume Next.
That then calls another sub or function, which calls a 3rd,
which calls a 4th. It all gets error-trapped. I've never tested
to figure out the details. I guess you could do something like:

Sub DoIt()
On Error GoTo 0
' code in sub
On Error Resume Next
End Sub

  According to the docs it doesn't matter when the sub
ends, but if it bubbles up then GoTo 0 might also bubble
up and thus need to be cleared.

  I tend to use another approach: If I need to test
something I might comment out all error trapping
until I figure out the problem. Though sometimes
errors are expected, so that can be awkward.
   Once the code is pretty much finished, and I've
made it as stable as possible with error trapping, I
just add On Error Resume Next at the top of
everything. My logic is that I've dealt with all
the likely problems. Any problem that then might
arise would be a fluke and it's probably going to
do more harm than good to stop everything for such
a problem.
