Region.Checkpoint - catch error generation

This may be a simple problem, however I cannot find a solution.  Basically, I am performing a region checkpoint operation and I want to prevent a test-level error from being generated (or at least prevent it from stopping test execution) so I can handle the error.  Is this possible on a per teststep basis?  I do not want to disable the project settings "Stop on error..." (would then require validation on every test step.)



Thanks in advance.
