And thats, im(ns)ho the *only* thing it should do.  For the reason I already 
mentioned.

I already asked you to explain that stance (in regard to 'raising an error' 
I mean).

And I explained why its counter-productive (read: *not* logical).   I also 
explained why (resetting the error object) it isn't even needed.

Also, your "Thus" stinks.  You are trying to combine apples and oranges 
there (the word itself implies a link between the two, but that linkage is 
not evident, nor have you tried to made it clear).  While that might do when 
you want to drink some fruit juce, it doesn't have the same result when 
talking programming I'm afraid.

I do not think its complicated at all.   But I do not see any of the reasons 
you think are evident, so I was-and-am asking you to supply some explanation 
to them.   So I may understand why the clearing of the error object is 
neccesary, ore even the best way to go, when disabeling the error catching.

>  Personally I never use On Error GoTo 0

Than I sincerily hope you are not using "on error resume next" either.

I myself am using both, tightly wrapped around a single command*/** so its 
failure can be detected and handled in-program (instead of aborting it).

*with the error handling outside of the "next"-ing - so any errors in the 
error-handling will cause a hard error instead of being, for all intends and 
purposes, ignored.

**Which is possibly the difference of POV we are experiencing.

P.s
If you do not wish to respond to my questions toward something you posted 
than please do say so.   As in that case we are not conversing, and any more 
time spend on it would be wasted.

Mind you, there is a possibility that clearing the error object on 
disabeling the error catching actually *is* the best way to go, and I would 
not mind *at all* to be made aware of it (yes, I'm weird that way).   But 
upto now I have not heard you mention any(thing) that you could support with 
facts.
