Routine cannot contain an On Error and lamda or query expression. Huh???

[Just_a_fan]

I tried to put an "on error" statement in a routine and got the message
that I cannot user "on error" and a lamda or query expression in the
same routine.

Help does not list anything useful for explaining a "lamda" expression
and so I don't know what one is and I am not doing any database stuff in
the entire program.

So what does this error message really mean and what can I do to get an
On Error into the routine?

NO, DON'T tell me to use Try/Catch because it is an incomplete
implementation that does not allow control to get back to the failing
line of code after attempting a fixup of the problem.

Here is the rather long routine that gets the error, just in case
someone wants to look at it. It was written when I was just learning
VB9 and is certainly set up from the perspective of a long-time VB6
coder. There are fixups to be made, for sure to modernize it. Just
have not had the time to implement them as of yet. Mostly, I want to
get rid of the old WinSock ActiveX control for UDP data retrieval but
have not figured out how as of yet. Possibly an answer is already
present in another thread.

>I tried to put an "on error" statement in a routine and got the message
that I cannot user "on error" and a lamda or query expression in the

Help does not list anything useful for explaining a "lamda" expression

So what does this error message really mean and what can I do to get an

NO, DON'T tell me to use Try/Catch because it is an incomplete
implementation that does not allow control to get back to the failing
line of code after attempting a fixup of the problem.

Here is the rather long routine that gets the error, just in case
someone wants to look at it. It was written when I was just learning
VB9 and is certainly set up from the perspective of a long-time VB6
coder. There are fixups to be made, for sure to modernize it. Just
have not had the time to implement them as of yet. Mostly, I want to
get rid of the old WinSock ActiveX control for UDP data retrieval but
have not figured out how as of yet. Possibly an answer is already
present in another thread.

Do you have option strict on and option option explicit on.

If not turn them on and you might see where the error is.

>I tried to put an "on error" statement in a routine and got the message
that I cannot user "on error" and a lamda or query expression in the
same routine.

Help does not list anything useful for explaining a "lamda" expression
and so I don't know what one is and I am not doing any database stuff in
the entire program.

So what does this error message really mean and what can I do to get an
On Error into the routine?

NO, DON'T tell me to use Try/Catch because it is an incomplete
implementation that does not allow control to get back to the failing
line of code after attempting a fixup of the problem.

Well, you had better come up with something else, because it doesn't like
it.

Well, I never intentionally coded a lamda expression and still don't
think I have one. They seem awfully odd. And I don't like it, either.

Thanks for the useless reply. If I actually had one, I would get rid of
it!

I can't run with Strict On and run due to another wonderful
inconsistency in VS. I will turn it on and see if anything else pops
up, then turn it back off so I can run. Last time I turned it on to
clean up anything, all was well.

Since, after reading what a lamda statement is, I still don't know what
one is, I doubt I have one and there are no LINQ or databases used in
the program, anywhere.

Too bad that VS's Help did not send me to anything even close to
explaining what a lamda expression is...

Stict On just points out the obvious problem with a call to the thing I
would love to get rid of but can't until I find a way to send a UDP
message. I can find lots of HTTP examples but no UDP sample code.

I found the problem that this statement was going to help me with so,
for now, it is a non-issue. I had restructured the midnight process and
missed one file close switching from write to read and back to write.
The On Error was going to catch the problem and close the file, then try
the open again to fix it until I could find where the problem really
was. Found it, finally.

When working on too many things at once, sometimes a band-aid stops the
bleeding until you can fix the real problem. And then it claims I am
using lamda expressions.... sigh.....

I guess there is a need for lamda expressions but I surely can't think
of one right now and I don't have one in my code, best I can see. I
wish someone had put some thought elsewhere instead of writing that
obscure little bit of statement handling code. The closest I have is
initializing a value in a Dim statement. I don't know if that qualifies
but I will remove them and see if it changes the message and report back
if any update.

Thanks anyway,
Mike
