Errors and Error Handling When you are programming an application, you need to consider what happens when an error occurs. An error can occur in your application for one of two of reasons. First, some condition at the time the application is running makes otherwise valid code fail. For example, if your code attempts to open a table that the user has deleted, an error occurs. Second, your code may contain improper logic that prevents it from doing what you intended. For example, an error occurs if your code attempts to divide a value by zero. If you have not implemented error handling, Visual Basic halts execution and displays an error message when an error occurs in your code. The user of your application

a full version of Access, while a run-time version just crashes. For a more detailed approach to error handling, see FMS' article on Error Handling and Debugging. The simplest approach is http://allenbrowne.com/ser-23a.html to display the Access error message and quit the procedure. Each procedure, then, will http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-tips-for-handling-errors-in-vba/ have this format (without the line numbers): 1 Sub|Function SomeName() 2 On Error GoTo Err_SomeName ' Initialize error handling. 3 ' Code to do something here. 4 Exit_SomeName: ' Label to resume after error. 5 Exit Sub|Function ' Exit before error handler. 6 Err_SomeName: ' Label to jump to on error. 7 MsgBox Err.Number & Err.Description error handling ' Place error handling here. 8 Resume Exit_SomeName ' Pick up again and quit. 9 End Sub|Function For a task where several things could go wrong, lines 7~8 will be replaced with more detail: Select Case Err.Number Case 9999 ' Whatever number you anticipate. Resume Next ' Use this to just ignore the line. Case 999 Resume Exit_SomeName ' Use this to give up on the proc. Case Else basic error handling ' Any unexpected error. Call LogError(Err.Number, Err.Description, "SomeName()") Resume Exit_SomeName End Select The Case Else in this example calls a custom function to write the error details to a table. This allows you to review the details after the error has been cleared. The table might be named "tLogError" and consist of: Field Name Data Type Description ErrorLogID AutoNumber Primary Key. ErrNumber Number Long Integer. The Access-generated error number. ErrDescription Text Size=255. The Access-generated error message. ErrDate Date/Time System Date and Time of error. Default: =Now() CallingProc Text Name of procedure that called LogError() UserName Text Name of User. ShowUser Yes/No Whether error data was displayed in MsgBox Parameters Text 255. Optional. Any parameters you wish to record. Below is a procedure for writing to this table. It optionally allows recording the value of any variables/parameters at the time the error occurred. You can also opt to suppress the display of information about the error. Function LogError(ByVal lngErrNumber As Long, ByVal strErrDescription As String, _ strCallingProc As String, Optional vParameters, Optional bShowUser As Boolean = True) As Boolean On Error GoTo Err_LogError ' Purpose: Generic error handler. ' Logs errors to table "tLogError". ' Arguments: lngErrNumber - value of Err.Number ' strErrDescription - value of Err.Desc

These best practices will help ensure your apps run as intended, without a hitch. By Susan Harkins | in Five Apps, October 9, 2010, 1:15 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus A professional application always includes adequate error-handling routines to trap unexpected errors. Sometimes, the right handling means the user never knows the error occurred. At the very least, error-handling routines should address the problem, share adequate information on what the user should do next, and exit the program (if absolutely necessary) gracefully. You put a lot of effort into writing the procedures that run your custom applications. Why let a runtime error ruin it all? By employing a few best practices, you can improve error handling. 1: Verify and configure error settings Before you do anything, check the error-trapping settings. VBA, via the Visual Basic Editor (VBE), is flexible and allows you to determine how it responds to errors. To access these settings (shown in Figure A), in the VBE, choose Options from the Tools menu, and click the General tab: Break On All Errors: Stops on every error, even errors following a Resume Next statement. Break On Unhandled Errors: Stops for unhandled errors, but stops on the line calling the class (in class modules) rather than the line with th
