Morning all,
Below is a piece of code to deal with a deliberate error.
Can someboby explain why, in run mode, 'errhandler'
is not reached, but the error is caught by the standard error
handler, whereas in the compiled EXE, it runs as expected?
This makes writing error handling routines difficult, since
I have to compile the app to find out if the errhandler works OK!
TIA
Geoff Turner
....code follows...
Private Sub cmdTest_Click()
On Error GoTo errhandler
Print 2 / 0
Exit Sub
errhandler:
MsgBox "Oh dear, ERROR"
Exit Sub
End Sub
4  2862 
Works for me.. Code looks fine also. If you press F8 and step through the
code, what happens? What version of VB do you have? Do you have the latest
service pack?
Maybe someone else can give you ideas.

Problem solved.
Under "Tools/Options/General/ErrorTrapping" I have the option to select
"Break on all Errors" and "Break on Unhandled Errors"
Changing to the latter solved the problem.
Thanks all.
Geoff.

When creating a new class, is it encouraged to always include error
handling routines within your LET and GET procedures? It's seems that
most text books never seem to include much about error handling within
classes. Just hoping to hear some programmer's thoughts on error
handling.

Hi,
assert and error handling can be used for similar purposes.
When should one use assert instead of try/catch and in which
cases the error handling is preferable?
I've read somewhere that assert could be used to start
an interactive debugger automatically. How do I realize that
on a Linux machine using gcc?

I use code extensively; I probably overuse it. But I've been using
error trapping very sparingly, and now I've been trapped by that.
A form that works for me on the system I'm using, apparently runs into
problems on the system where it will actually be used, and since I
used so little error-trapping it dies very ungracefully.
I will of course try to fix whatever is causing the error and add
error-trapping to the functions where the...

Everyone knows that global variables get re-set in an mdb when an un-handled

is defined as private at form-level.
So if "global variables get re-set" doesn't tell the whole story, then what
does?

of what happens when an un-handled error occurs - possibly with help file...

Hi all
I'am moving from Visual Foxpro and have a question
regarding "best practice" error handling in vb .net.
In VFP I have always used a "central" error handling
object in order to have a easy and reusable way of
handling all errors in a program.
The VB 6 coding examples I have seen there has always
been error handling code in each program module.

Hi,
I have error handling in place throughout my application. I also start the
application wrapped in error handling code to catch any unexpected
exceptions (i.e. exceptions that occur where I haven't placed error handling
code).
When I run my app from the IDE, the unhandled errors are caught by the error
handling code in my Sub Main routine and the error details are logged to a
text file and optionally e-mailed to me for follow-up.
