VBA Modules: Excel: xlErrorLog v1.03a

Read this for full information on these modules

This nifty little Excel module stores errors in a log when running a long, complex macro, and then "dumps" them to an Excel worksheet when it's fnished.  There are a number of ways to do this, so this might not exactly fit your needs, and you may well already have a better solution, but this has worked for me a couple of times.

Note that "emsg" is a fairly blunt way of controlling the log macro, it's fully annotated though so it should make sense how it works.

' errorlog("New")
'   Creates "Error Log" sheet in WB if not there already
'   --> Error Log sheet contains 2 columns:
'       Date & Time
'       Description
'
' errorlog("Description")
'   Records error with timestamp as elog([0=t|1=d], e)
'
' errorlog("Dump")
'   Dumps errors into log sheet when finished
