Try Catch is more structured and just all around better.
You have blocks of code that can be nested inside eachother, with clear
logic about exactly what will happen in case of an error.
The fact that the "GOTO" statement is associated with the old ON ERROR
technique should be a clue that it tends to result in spaghetti code.

Tiraman,
In addition to Steve's comments:

See the "Use Structured Exception Handling Rather Than On Error Statement"
section of:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/us...tinternals.asp
Also there were a couple long threads a year or so ago on the matter of Try
Catch verses On Error, however I don't have the links handy, you could try
searching this newsgroup at http://groups.google.com for the threads.

Hope this helps
Jay
