If your code doesn't have line numbers, then VBA has no way of giving you line numbers.

You can write VBA and make it look 1980-like to do this:

Sub1
On Error GoTo 100
10   Call Function1
20   Call Function2
90   Exit Sub
100  Debug.Print Err.Message & " on line " & Erl
End Sub

But you don't want to do that. Really, you don't need a line number.

You need smaller functions that handle runtime errors.

On Error GoTo ErrHandler

When a runtime error occurs, execution jumps to the line label called ErrHandler.

     ...
     Exit Sub
ErrHandler: '<< the line label is denoted with a colon

What goes in that handler? If you're debugging, you might want to just Stop execution there and inspect your locals:

    Stop

Then add Resume on the next line, and press F8 to step into it. Resume will return to the call that caused the error. If that's a function call, then you need to handle runtime errors in that function.

Make sure you never leave Stop and Resume instructions in production code:

Sub WhenWillThisEnd()
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    Debug.Print 42/0
    Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
    Resume 'jumps back to the line that caused the error
    Resume Next 'resumes execution on the line right after the one that went boom
End Sub
