File names must conform to operating system conventions as well as Basic file-naming conventions. In Microsoft Windows, use the following conventions for naming files and directories: The name of a file or directory can have two parts: a name and an optional extension. The two parts are separated by a period, for example, myfile.new. Hi, When I am trying to open an access file, it shows microsoft visual basic error, 'run time error 53, file not found'. Please show a solution to this. Regards, Parvez.

Applicability

Issue

1. When performing a copy and paste operation, users sometimes see this Visual Basic error:
2. The error shown above sometimes appears when launching Word.

Solution

It is likely the file MathPage.WLL is not located in Office's STARTUP folder. To add it manually, please follow these steps:

1. Visit whichever of these folders is appropriate for your bit-level of Office:
   C:Program Files (x86)MathTypeMathPage32
C:Program Files (x86)MathTypeMathPage64
2. Once copied, visit the following location:
   C:Users[user name]AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWordSTARTUP

   Note this folder is normally hidden, so if you don’t have Windows set up to show hidden folders, you won’t be able to see it. If you still can't find this folder, you may paste the file here:
   C:Program Files or Program Files(x86)Microsoft OfficerootOffice16STARTUP
   or
   C:Users[user name]AppDataLocalPackages
Microsoft.Office.Desktop_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalCacheRoamingMicrosoftWordSTARTUP
3. After pasting the file, be sure to completely close Word, then re-open.

If that resolved the issue, you are done. If not, we suggest re-starting your computer and testing again.

If the issue has not been resolved, you may also change the macro security center settings to Disable all macros except digitally signed macros, or enable all macros. We've described below how to do this. MathType's macro for Word is digitally signed.

Please note: When enabling all macros, please be cautious with documents from senders that you are not familiar with. Documents from unknown sources can contain malicious code.

1. Click the ‘File’ menu or the ‘Office’ button in the upper left corner.
2. Click ‘Trust Center Settings’.
3. Select the radio button for ‘Disable all macros except digitally signed macros.’
4. Close Word and then re-open Word.

*If that does not resolve the issue, you may try enabling all macros.

We hope this has been helpful. As always, please let us know if you have questions about this, or if you have additional techniques that work. We'd love to hear from you.

Enables an error-handling routine and specifies the location of the routine within a procedure; can also be used to disable an error-handling routine. The On Error statement is used in unstructured error handling and can be used instead of structured exception handling. Structured exception handling is built into .NET, is generally more efficient, and so is recommended when handling runtime errors in your application.

Without error handling or exception handling, any run-time error that occurs is fatal: an error message is displayed, and execution stops.

Note

The Error keyword is also used in the Error Statement, which is supported for backward compatibility.

Note

We recommend that you use structured exception handling in your code whenever possible, rather than using unstructured exception handling and the On Error statement. For more information, see Try...Catch...Finally Statement.

An 'enabled' error handler is one that is turned on by an On Error statement. An 'active' error handler is an enabled handler that is in the process of handling an error.

If an error occurs while an error handler is active (between the occurrence of the error and a Resume, Exit Sub, Exit Function, or Exit Property statement), the current procedure's error handler cannot handle the error. Control returns to the calling procedure.

Microsoft Visual Basic Runtime Error 53 On A Windows 10

If the calling procedure has an enabled error handler, it is activated to handle the error. If the calling procedure's error handler is also active, control passes back through previous calling procedures until an enabled, but inactive, error handler is found. If no such error handler is found, the error is fatal at the point at which it actually occurred.

Each time the error handler passes control back to a calling procedure, that procedure becomes the current procedure. Once an error is handled by an error handler in any procedure, execution resumes in the current procedure at the point designated by the Resume statement.

Note

An error-handling routine is not a Sub procedure or a Function procedure. It is a section of code marked by a line label or a line number.

Number Property

Error-handling routines rely on the value in the Number property of the Err object to determine the cause of the error. The routine should test or save relevant property values in the Err object before any other error can occur or before a procedure that might cause an error is called. The property values in the Err object reflect only the most recent error. The error message associated with Err.Number is contained in Err.Description.

Throw Statement

An error that is raised with the Err.Raise method sets the Exception property to a newly created instance of the Exception class. In order to support the raising of exceptions of derived exception types, a Throw statement is supported in the language. This takes a single parameter that is the exception instance to be thrown. The following example shows how these features can be used with the existing exception handling support:

Notice that the On Error GoTo statement traps all errors, regardless of the exception class.

On Error Resume Next

On Error Resume Next causes execution to continue with the statement immediately following the statement that caused the run-time error, or with the statement immediately following the most recent call out of the procedure containing the On Error Resume Next statement. This statement allows execution to continue despite a run-time error. You can place the error-handling routine where the error would occur rather than transferring control to another location within the procedure. An On Error Resume Next statement becomes inactive when another procedure is called, so you should execute an On Error Resume Next statement in each called routine if you want inline error handling within that routine.

Note

The On Error Resume Next construct may be preferable to On Error GoTo when handling errors generated during access to other objects. Checking Err after each interaction with an object removes ambiguity about which object was accessed by the code. You can be sure which object placed the error code in Err.Number, as well as which object originally generated the error (the object specified in Err.Source).

On Error GoTo 0

On Error GoTo 0 disables error handling in the current procedure. It doesn't specify line 0 as the start of the error-handling code, even if the procedure contains a line numbered 0. Without an On Error GoTo 0 statement, an error handler is automatically disabled when a procedure is exited.

On Error GoTo -1

On Error GoTo -1 disables the exception in the current procedure. It does not specify line -1 as the start of the error-handling code, even if the procedure contains a line numbered -1. Without an On Error GoTo -1 statement, an exception is automatically disabled when a procedure is exited.

To prevent error-handling code from running when no error has occurred, place an Exit Sub, Exit Function, or Exit Property statement immediately before the error-handling routine, as in the following fragment:

Here, the error-handling code follows the Exit Sub statement and precedes the End Sub statement to separate it from the procedure flow. You can place error-handling code anywhere in a procedure.

Untrapped Errors

Untrapped errors in objects are returned to the controlling application when the object is running as an executable file. Within the development environment, untrapped errors are returned to the controlling application only if the proper options are set. See your host application's documentation for a description of which options should be set during debugging, how to set them, and whether the host can create classes.

If you create an object that accesses other objects, you should try to handle any unhandled errors they pass back. If you cannot, map the error codes in Err.Number to one of your own errors and then pass them back to the caller of your object. You should specify your error by adding your error code to the VbObjectError constant. For example, if your error code is 1052, assign it as follows:

Caution

System errors during calls to Windows dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) do not raise exceptions and cannot be trapped with Visual Basic error trapping. When calling DLL functions, you should check each return value for success or failure (according to the API specifications), and in the event of a failure, check the value in the Err object's LastDLLError property.

Example

This example first uses the On Error GoTo statement to specify the location of an error-handling routine within a procedure. In the example, an attempt to divide by zero generates error number 6. The error is handled in the error-handling routine, and control is then returned to the statement that caused the error. The On Error GoTo 0 statement turns off error trapping. Then the On Error Resume Next statement is used to defer error trapping so that the context for the error generated by the next statement can be known for certain. Note that Err.Clear is used to clear the Err object's properties after the error is handled.
