ERROR: Error handler re-entered. Exiting now.

    I get the following error message when running code on a specific set of drawings (not all drawings). When I click OK, I am kicked complete out of AutoCAD and/or the VBA IDE.

    Title: AutoCAD Error-abort
    Msg: Error handler re-entered. Exiting now.

    My code is only trying to get a layer or create it if it does not exist. Something like:

    On Error Resume Next
    Dim objLayer As AcadLayer
    Set objLayer = ThisDrawing.Layers(strLayer)
    If ObjLayer Is Nothing then
    Set objLayer = ThisDrawing.Layers.Add(strLayer)
    End if

    As I mentioned, this problem is only happening with a certain crop of drawings that are nearly identical, so I would guess that something is probably just wacky with them (I have recovered & audited). Otherwise this utility works great.

    However, the brutality of the error and inability I have to track it down using regular debugging methods makes me curious as to what may be the exact cause. Has anyone else out there seen this before?

    Curious,

    Mark,

    You can use a single line to do this...
    If the layer already exists, it will be returned to objLayer. If it
    doesn't, it will be created.
