Excel/VBA: Skip error and continue w/ code execution

[Seth123]

First, thanks a million to all who are here to share their expertise and to spend their time to solve the coding related problems of others. You have no clue how much you've helped me so far w/ my job.
Problem: My macro doesn't do what I want. I have an excel file w/ multiple columns. What I want is the macro 1) to look for specific headers (if they exist in the file), then 2) selects the entire column and 3) resize it as specified in the script. If the specified header doesn't exist in the file, the code should move on the next one w/o giving any error.
The code below changes the “Problem Description” size from 50 to 6 although 6 is the size for "Corrective Action Required?" header (which is not applicable in this case as that header doesn’t exist and hence the resizing requirement of 6 s/b simply ignored).
But that didn’t happened. Instead, the size of previous condition (changing the col size of “Problem Description” to 50 ) did change to 6.
Should I use a different method to write this macro and avoid using OnErrorResumeNext? Any help is greatly appreciated!

What happens with...

    On Error Resume Next
    Cells.Find(what:="data domain", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:= _
               xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext _
                                                                                  , MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
    ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
    Selection.ColumnWidth = 8
    On Error GoTo 0

    On Error Resume Next
    Cells.Find(what:="eDIM#", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:= _
               xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext _
                                                                                  , MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
    ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
    Selection.ColumnWidth = 6
    On Error GoTo 0

    On Error Resume Next
    Cells.Find(what:="Problem Description", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:= _
               xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext _
                                                                                  , MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
    ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
    Selection.ColumnWidth = 50
    On Error GoTo 0

[Seth123]

this is taken care of now. i've found the solution below. thank you for your interest.




On Error Resume Next


Cells.Find("data domain").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 8
Cells.Find("eDIM#").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 6
Cells.Find("Problem Description").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 50
Cells.Find("Corrective Action Required?").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 6

On Error Goto 0
