Trapping as ASPError in ASP 3.0 Raised from my own COM object

[Nithi Gurusamy]

Dear Group:

I have a COM object developed in VB. It makes ADODB calls. When it fails it
Raise Error. I am using the COM object in my ASP using Server.CreateOb ject.
Whenever a function call fails I wanted the system to catch the 500-100
error and redirect to the configured page in IIS. But nothing happens. I
don't have "on error resume next" in my COM object.

If I create ADO objects directly in my ASP code using Server.CreateOb ject it
works fine.

Please help!

Let me explain the problem in detail:

If I raise an error in my COM object method, is there a way to trap it in my
ASP code where I created the COM object using Server.CreateOb ject?

My COM object is working with ADO objects. When there is an error thrown by
an ADO object, I want to raise the same error back to the caller of this COM
object. The caller is my ASP code. I want the "500-100" custom error handler
to be called at the end.

The COM object is developed using VB. Even I tried by removing the "on
error.." error handlers in the COM object code. Nothing works. Only way to
realize the error in the ASP is to pass an errorcode variable by reference
and check it back after the function call returns. If there is an error call
Err.Raise method so that it triggers the "500-100" error handler. But I want
everything to happen automatically. I don't want to call Err.Raise in my ASP
code. I can call Err.Raise inside the COM object.

I hope this is a simple issue. Could never find a similar posting in the
past.

Please help!

This error is produced by Internet Explorer, you have to do the following to
obtain the error correct.

Tools->Internet Options->Advanced

And Un-Checking "Show friendly HTTP error messages"

After, run the page and watch the error.
Sorry for my English!!!!.
