error help

working on a card game and im trying to cover all errors the players come across.

wierd things happen often

-a player cannot put a card in a open, usuable slot on the board

-a person will simply be skipped

um... We can't help you much if you don't give us some of your code.

heres it is the code is really bulky and inefficient. i havent really learned vb. if they are suggestions on making it more
efficient and any errors

When an error is generated it will display the associated error number. In this way, you can connect the number with the error in your error trapping routine. Example: Error 13 is a Type Mismatch and 68 is Drive Not Found, so, knowing this, you can trap for errors, and handle each error differently.

VB Code:

Private Sub DoSomethingCool()
On Error Goto ErrRtn
'code to do cool stuff
Exit Sub
ErrRtn:
   Select Case Err
     Case 13 'type mismatch
       'handle type mismatch
     Case 68 'drive not found
       'handle drive not found
     Case SoOnAndSoForth
       'handle SoOnAndSoForth
     Case Else
       Msgbox Err & " " & Error
   End Select
End Sub

can anyone suggest good resources for learning vb?

Take a look at some of Jamie's tutorials - http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...hreadid=143394

Pick up a book on beginning VB.
