Imagine the sheer ~~idiocy~~ genius required to add a language feature where, if an error occurred, the handling method is to just pretend that line of code never existed and continue onto the next line.

VBA is truly the language of savants.

$ErrorActionPreference = Stop

At the start of almost every script.

I wrap every line of code in a try catch block, even my try catch blocks are in try catch blocks just in case the first accidentally drops it after catching it
