I do not know how other people here feel, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee358847(v=office.12).aspx but I've always thought of VBA's error handling as clunky, ugly and most of all, tedious as there's several things to be done manually. For one thing, I'm spoiled by try/catch blocks. For those not familiar with this structure: Code: Try 'Execute code 'Cause an error, which is called an exception. Catch ex As Exception 'Handle exception here Finally 'This executes whether an http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=132166 exception was not thrown or not. This is great place for putting in your clean up code. End Try Not only the try/catch block reads much more smoothly than 'OnError GoTo X', it makes the code less spaghetti-y, now that we don't need to make sure there's a Exit Sub before the error handler section to prevent the flow spilling over into the error handler. Furthermore, there's now a centralized location for all clean up code; no need to remember to include the cleanups in the error handler. But VBA doesn't support try/catch block, so we'll have to do best as we can. That doesn't stop me, however, from wondering if we could make the whole error handling much more simpler and self-maintaining. Here is my usual error routines: Code: Private Sub Something On Error GoTo PROC_ERR 'Execute my code here ExitSub: 'Execute my clean up code here Exit Sub PROC_ERR 'Catch any errors that may be specific to this sub and handle it locally 'If generic error, call a public sub to record the error GoTo ExitSub: End Sub I usually make use of a e
a full version of Access, while a run-time version just crashes. For a more detailed approach to error handling, see FMS' article on http://allenbrowne.com/ser-23a.html Error Handling and Debugging. The simplest approach is to display the Access http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?26715-Global-Error-Handling error message and quit the procedure. Each procedure, then, will 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 error handling before error handler. 6 Err_SomeName: ' Label to jump to on error. 7 MsgBox Err.Number & Err.Description ' 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 vba error handling Next ' Use this to just ignore the line. Case 999 Resume Exit_SomeName ' Use this to give up on the proc. Case Else ' 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

In the Open_Workbook routine I set On Error Goto ErrorHandler: Then within that same routine I create a basic ErrorHandler to display a message box and then close the workbook. The problem I have is that the ErrorHandler doesn't seem to fire for any of the errors that get reported by Excel....I still get the default Error Message box giving the user the option to Debug, End or Continue.. I had thought from my reading that once you set an On Error statement that it stays inforce until you set an On Error Goto 0....but it doesn't seem to working like that for me... Any help appreciated..

I have probably over 100 Procedures in this workbook....is there a way to have a Global Error Handler setup ? Reply With Quote 05-14-2009,06:34 PM #4 GTO View Profile View Forum Posts View Bl
