Description

When you try to run any of the example scripts, from the help file for _Excel_RangeFind, in 3.3.13.19 it errors out every time.

AutoIt3\Include\Excel.au3" (608) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$aResult[$iIndex][1] = $oMatch.Name.Name
$aResult[$iIndex][1] = $oMatch ERROR

This example runs fine in 3.3.12.0

This is caused by the way AutoIt 3.3.13.19 handles COM errors.
Up to 3.3.12.0 a COM error was returned by setting @error, with 3.3.13.19 the script crashes when you haven't set up a COM error handler.

Up to 3.3.12.0 the script simply checked @error and then decided what to do. Now you need a COM error handler even when you wanted to ignore the error.
I hope this change will be thought over before the release of the next production version. Now it is a huge overhead with little to none advantage compared to the "old" solution.

The current Excel UDF in the repository has a COM error handler established for each function when called and dropped at the end.
