Error zero

[huBBLe]

this question may sound silly but i really have no idea wat it means.

i keep getting this "error 0" error when i use Err.Number in my error handler. when i do a Err.Description, it doesn't print anything.

my questions are:
1) What is this error 0?
2) Does it mean there is no error? (but if there is no error, why is it raised?)

thank you

That means there is no error. One thing to check in your procedure, is that your error handler is not part of the body of your code. See below:

Public Sub MySub()
On error goto MYERROR 'your error handler label
'
' code
'
Exit Sub 'make sure if there is no error that
'your error handler does not get executed
MYERROR:
'raise errors here
End Sub

works buddy! thanks.

think this has something to do with the code falling through all the error handlers rite?

Exactly right.

I've been doing this stuff for years, and there are still times that I forget to exit the routine before the error handling section.

The big problem is that no released version of VB to date has actually had good error/exception handling available.
