one more little question can I get line #s for errors

is there a relatively easy way to get line numbers of the errors encountered like C++ does rather than sifting through 47 pages of code?

If you use line numbers, then you can use the Erl to find the line.

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()

  On Error GoTo error_handler
 
  Dim a As String
10: a = a * 100
 
  Exit Sub
 
error_handler:

  MsgBox Erl

End Sub

---

Is that what you were looking for?

I don't think I'll be able to type in line numbers for the whole app though...

or do I have to? last time I typed line numbers in a program was Basic, before quick basic. evil basic.. Grrrr!!

BBC BASIC was the greatest there was (it even had an equivalent of pointers :))

you don't like edlin too do you???

Not particularly. ;)
