>>>When I try to get a value of a cell in an Excel spreadsheet, it must have been either with loSheet.Cells(lnRow, lnCol).Value or with loSheet.Cells(lnRow, lnCol), I sometimes get an error message. I noticed that this happens when Excel shows an error message, e.g., for an unknown formula.

>>>I tried something with TRY / CATCH, providing a default value in case of an error. Something like this:

>>>TRY
>>>  lcValue = loSheet.Cells(lnRow, lnCol)
>>>CATCH
>>>  lcValue = ""
>>>ENDTRY

>>>This works fine, however, I was wondering whether this was the correct approach. For example, is there a way to check the cell for an error without using a TRY...CATCH?
