Visual Basic uploading files to SharePoint -- error-trapping routine

[S3066]

Hi,

This code uses WebDAV to upload files automatically to SharePoint. I didn't write it, though. "Jeff Jones" did.

My question is, the code below doesn't have an error-trapping routine that notifies me, at run-time, if a file didn't successfully get uploaded to SharePoint. Instead, the code is "silent."

Thoughts from anyone on how the code below could be modified to tell the user at run-time if a file didn't get successfully uploaded to SharePoint? Is there a VB solution that I could append to this code?

Again, below is the code. I pulled it from

http://www.visualbasicscript.com/m_41740/tm.htm.

Thanks,
SL

The function should return a value. The value should be the result of the objXMLHTTP.send routines. Your base call should evaluate the function return and report success/failure.

I take it that this is VBScript. You'd be better off translating this to VB.NET, which has much more robust error-handling built in, such as Try/Catch blocks.

Thanks for that tip; I will trace the function call to determine what values to look for in my error trap.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to have the code CREATE the appropriate directory if it doesn't exist?

Appreciate any insights. Thanks
