you, helping each other. Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up MS-Access, VBA and error handling up vote 11 down vote favorite 6 This is more an observation than a real question: MS-Access (and VBA https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee358847(v=office.12).aspx in general) is desperately missing a tool where error handling code can be generated automatically, and where the line number can be displayed when an error occurs. Did you find a solution? What is it? I just realized how many hundreds of hours I spared since I found the right answer to this basic problem a few years ago, and I'd like to see what are your ideas and solutions on this very important issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/357822/ms-access-vba-and-error-handling vba ms-access error-handling access-vba share|improve this question edited May 27 '15 at 7:40 shruti1810 2,3311725 asked Dec 10 '08 at 22:24 Philippe Grondier 7,92721753 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote Well there are a couple of tools that will do what you ask MZ Tools and FMS Inc come to mind. Basically they involve adding an: On Error GoTo ErrorHandler to the top of each proc and at the end they put an: ErrorHandler: Call MyErrorhandler Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.LineNumber label with usually a call to a global error handler where you can display and log custom error messages share|improve this answer answered Dec 10 '08 at 22:40 DJ. 12.7k22941 You took the words out of my mouth! –Philippe Grondier Dec 10 '08 at 23:00 3 This is slightly misleading as Err.LineNumber doesn't exist.. So while good practice for generic error handling, it doesn't answer the crux of the original issue about line numbering. If you need to do this then the answer involving Erl would be better if you had to have a line number. –FinancialRadDeveloper Nov 5 '10 at 12:07 add a comment| Did you find this question interesting?

Surprisingly though, errors and their properties are relatively unknown to a large part of the development vba error community. To effectively implement error handling in your applications, it is necessary to know the resources that are available when your program encounters an error. Assuming we are working with non-executable programs (.mdb's or .accdb's), the most important thing to understand is the global settings for error trapping in our VBA procedure. Under the "Tools vba error handling » Options" menu, then on the "General" Tab there are three options for error trapping: Break on all errors » Stops code execution when an error is encountered. Break in class module » Stops code execution in class modules only. Break on unhandled errors » Stops code execution only if there is no error handling routine present in the procedure. This is the global setting for error handling. So, if error traps are present in our procedures, they will be ignored if we have specified the "Break on all errors" option. In the following image, we've done just that: There are three important statements in an error handling routine: On Error, Resume and GoTo. Typically, they will appear together at the beginning of a procedure: On Error Resume Next On Error GoTo 0 The "Resume" and "GoTo" statements simply tell VBA what to do when an error is encountered. First, Resume has two primary actions associated with it: Resume Next » Ignor
error condition is raised. If you have made provision for that possibility, your code can recover gracefully and continue or terminate as appropriate; if not, Access will do its best to handle the error itself -- usually not in the way you would prefer. An untrapped, or unhandled, error is one that is raised by your application and not handled by error-handling code that you write. Such errors are then dealt with by Access's default error-handling routine, which displays the description of the error and, depending on your option settings, may allow you to debug the code. But it also tends to reset the VBA project, so that all global variables are returned to their uninitialized states. And if the database is run using the Access run-time module and not the full version of Access, the application will simply shut down. To avoid having this happen, put error-handling code in (at least) all your top-level VBA procedures. By "top-level" procedures, I mean those that are not called by other procedures you write, but rather are triggered by events. You can also write whatever specialized error-handling you want for lower-level procedures that are called from the top-level procedures, but if a lower-level procedure doesn't have its own error-handling code, its errors will be handled by a higher-level procedure's error-handler, if there is one, so you don't *necessarily* have to write an error-handler for every procedure. By error-handling code, I refer to using the On Error statement to define what will happen and where code execution will continue in the event of an error being raised by your code. Most often you will want to use the "On Error GoTo" form of the statement, to transfer control to an error-handling section in the procedure, from which section, eventually,
