Problems with Error Trapping the 'Set' command

I have a web page that changes the locations of items using CSS and DIVs.  This is conditional, so it makes it difficult to know which panel index to do the 'Set' on.  I tried to trap the error with the following code:

===========================================



  Err.Clear


  On Error Resume Next    


  Set OrderNumtxt = panel.Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0) _


                         .Panel(1).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel("HN_OR_OrderSummary") _


                         .Panel("orderSummaryZone").Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0)  


  If Err.Number <> 0 Then


    x = 1


  Else


    x = 0


  End If


  


  msgbox(x)


  '   x shows up as 0 here when the 'Set' in the 3rd line fails.





  if x = 0 then


                         


    Set OrderNumtxt = panel.Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0) _


                           .Panel(2).Panel(1).Panel(0).Panel("HN_OR_OrderSummary") _


                           .Panel("orderSummaryZone").Panel(0).Panel(1).Panel(0)






  end if                         


  '  This one 'Set's correctly and I can now assign a value to OrderNum



  OrderNum = mid(OrderNumtxt.innerText, 15, 13)

 ===========================================



My test script reports errors on the first 'Set' attempt, but I need to suppress the error count.  Can anyone help out on this?



Thanks.
