Question x Dismiss Join the Stack Overflow Community Stack Overflow is a community of 6.2 million programmers, just like you, helping each other. access vba on error msgbox 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 in general) is desperately missing a https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee358847(v=office.12).aspx 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. vba ms-access error-handling access-vba share|improve this question edited May 27 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/357822/ms-access-vba-and-error-handling '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| up vote 5 down vote What about using "Erl", it will display the last label before the error (e.g., 10, 20, or 30)?

Comments Before delving into actual programming functions and sub-routine, we must first establish an error handler. An error handler is a bit of code which will do pre-defined actions whenever an error occurs. For instance, generate a message to the user or developper describing the nature of the error. For an error handler to be useful, it must provide a minimum of information in its message to the user. Below is a typical example of an error handler I use. Modify it in any way to suit your exact needs. On Error GoTo Error_Handler 'Your code will go here Error_Handler_Exit: On Error Resume Next Exit {PROCEDURE_TYPE} Error_Handler: MsgBox "The following error has occured" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _ "Error Number: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & _ "Error Source: {PROCEDURE_NAME}/{MODULE_NAME}" & vbCrLf & _ "Error Description: " & Err.Description, vbCritical, _ "An Error has Occured!" Resume Error_Handler_Exit A Concrete Example Sub HelloWorld() On Error GoTo Error_Handler MsgBox "Hello Word!" Error_Handler_Exit: On Error Resume Next Exit Sub Error_Handler: MsgBox "The following error has occured" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _ "Error Number: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & _ "Error Source: YourModuleName/HelloWorld" & vbCrLf & _ "Error Description: " & Err.Description, vbCritical, _ "An Error has Occured!" Resume Error_Handler_Exit End Sub Note: Although VBA provides programmers with the possibility of using the err.source statement, it sadly does not help truly identify the culprit of the current error. This is why you must manually enter in the {MODULE_NAME} / {PROCEDURE_NAME} for each error handler. Trust me, although it may take a few extra seconds to do, it will same you loads of troubleshooting time later on (I'm talking from experience)!!! Also, if you are going to be doing some serious vba (MS Access, Word, Excel, …) work and not just a little tinkering, you should most probably seriously consider looking into the Mz-Tools add-in (free with no strings attached) in conjunction with implementing Allen Browne Error Log (for database developers). These two tools/approaches will greatly simplify and standardize your work!!! View ratings Rate this article Rate this article Article ratingsCurrent average ratings.
