Answer 1

First, I think you mean:

on error goto label

And no, you can't pass variables using a goto command. However, you can check the Err.Description for details, and if you are raising your own errors, you can do this:

  ' Raise a custom error.
    Err.Raise Number:=vbObjectError + 1000, _
        Source:="TestRaiseCustomError", _
        Description:="My custom error description."

So if you are raising your own error, you could set Source to the field that caused the problem.

Refer to the Use the Err Object's Raise Method to Raise Custom Errors section at this link for more info.
