I thought I was doing this right, but apparently not. Getting a "File Not Found" error when the file is not present in the folder. I know that the file sometimes won't be in the first folder or both folders. I think my On Error line isn't correct. What am I missing here?

Code:
Sub Copy()

    SerialDate = Format(Date, "yymmdd") & Format(Time, "hhmmss")
    CopyFileLocation = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\" & SerialDate & "\"
    MkDir CopyFileLocation
    
    For i = 2 To 1000
        On Error Resume Next
        FileCopy "V:\fullfilepath1\" & Range("B" & i).Value & ".pdf", CopyFileLocation & Range("B" & i).Value & ".pdf"
        On Error GoTo ErrHandler
        FileCopy "V:\fullfilepath2\" & Range("B" & i).Value & ".pdf", CopyFileLocation & Range("B" & i).Value & ".pdf"
        GoTo SkipErr
        
ErrHandler:
            Range("A" & i).Value = "COULD NOT EXTRACT!"
            GoTo SkipErr2
SkipErr:
            Range("A" & i).Value = SerialDate
SkipErr2:
    
    Next


End Sub
