For example: I'm using the Mail.SendMail function but when switching on the testing server it doesn't work, which is normal. I want to test if mailing is possible, if not then continue and/or show a message. Any ideas? error-handling asp-classic share|improve this question edited Nov 19 '11 at 2:52 casperOne 58.2k10127202 asked Jan 23 '09 at 11:08 Sander Versluys 23.1k186785 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 38 down vote accepted There are two approaches, you can code in JScript or VBScript which do have the construct or you can fudge it in your code. Using JScript you'd use the following type of construct: In your ASP code you fudge it by using on error resume next at the point you'd have a try and checking err.Number at the point of a catch like: <% Dim i ' Turn on error Handling On Error Resume Next 'Code here that you want to catch errors from ' Error Handler If Err.Number <> 0 Then ' Error Occurred / Trap it On Error Goto 0 ' But don't let other errors hide! ' Code to cope with the error here End If On Error Goto 0 ' Reset error handling. %> share|improve this answer edited Oct 17 '12 at 11:42 Shadow Wizard 49.2k1385131 answered Jan 23 '09 at 11:19 Wolfwyrd 10.3k42961 2 +1. Javascript. If you need it, forget VBscript use javascript. –AnthonyWJones Jan 25 '09 at 23:24 add a comment| up vote 7 down vote A rather nice way to handle this for missing COM classes: Dim o:Set o = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set o = CreateObject("foo.bar") On Error Goto 0 If o Is Nothing Then Response.Write "Oups, foo.bar isn't installed on this server!" Else Response.Write "Foo bar found, yay." End If share|improve this answer answered Sep 9 '09

For example, On Error Resume Next 'Do Step 1 'Do Step 2 'Do Step 3 When an error occurs on step 1, I want it to log that error (or perform other custom functions with it) then resume at step 2.

This is why I always used Javascript when I could get away with it. –wcm Oct 1 '08 at 14:23 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 103 down vote accepted VBScript has no notion of throwing or catching exceptions, but the runtime provides a global Err object that contains the reuslts of the last operation performed. You have to explicitly check whether the Err.Number property is non-zero after each operation. On Error Resume Next DoStep1 If Err.Number <> 0 Then WScript.Echo "Error in DoStep1: " & Err.Description Err.Clear End If DoStep2 If Err.Number <> 0 Then WScript.Echo "Error in DoStop2:" & Err.Description Err.Clear End If 'If you no longer want to continue following an error after that block's completed, 'call this. On Error Goto 0 The "On Error Goto [label]" syntax is supported by Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), but VBScript doesn't support this language feature so you have to use On Error Resume Next as described above. share|imp
