Exception Problem

[BorlandGeek]

I am upgrading my programs from BDE to ADO and in my old programs i had the line

catch(const Exception &EDatabase)
{
MessageBox(0, EDatabase.Message.c_str(), "Error in SQL", MB_OK);
}

now that im working in 6 it says that EDatabase doesnt exist
does anyone have any ideas

Have the problem solved?
(previous post)

Heh just kidding...

I think I would offer the same answer:

try
{
 //Your code goes here
}
catch(...)  // <--- Those dots are the key
{
 //Handling code goes here
}

Unless there is something else that I have misunderstood, this should work.

Good luck

hi Borlandgeek,
HM, what makes me wonder is, what is ADO???

Haven't heard from it yet.

Regards,

onrdbandit: I tried that, the thing is I want to be able to display the message the SQL put out when the ADO messes up

finnmike: ADO is Advanced Database Object it is a way of connecting to and interacting with many forms of databases

Have you tried EDatabaseError instead of EDatabase?
