How do you continue to build to next project folder after a failed step?

I want to continue building after a failed step, but instead of continue building the next step, I want to exit the folder I am building in and start on the next project folder. Can that be done?

Put the group of steps in a subroutine and configure the step(s) to 'Exit subroutine/build' on failure.

That's a solution for VBP 6.4, I have 6.2. My fault, I should have told you that detail. Still, I was able to figure it out by creating a build rule which evaluates the FAILSTEP_STATUS. When it's 1 (which means failure), skip, when its 0, build. Then it enters the next project folder which is where the FAILSTEP_STATUS is updated back to 0 to begin building that group of steps. I wrote some lines of script on the Step tab in Script Editor which sets FAILSTEP_STATUS back to 0. Here is that info.

Function vbld_StepStarting()
Set failedstatus = vbld_AllMacros()("FAILSTEP_STATUS")
failedstatus.Value = 0
End Function

Thanks for your time and help.
