Global Error Handlers

[Daniel McCool]

Are there any means of handling errors globally? Also, how do I determine what kind of error the error is.

I would like to have my application detect an error, then message the user that there is an error, save the users work, then close the application.

Handling the errors globally would make this much simpler and efficient. Thanks fallas.

I think if you used a Sub Main() style thing, with this:

Public bExit As Boolean 'Form1 sets this to true when they want to quit!
Public bError As Boolean 'Form1 sets this to true when there's an error!
Public Sub Main()
    Form1.Show
    Do
        DoEvents
    Loop Until bExit = True Or bError = True
    If bExit Then
        End
    Else
        Msgbox "There has been an error......"
        ...
    End If
End Sub

Or maybe just having error handling in the form_main event would do; Seeing as not specifying LOCAL in the On Error statement makes it react to Subroutine calls erroring out, it (MIGHT) do the same. I don't think so though!...

There is probably a really easy solution, I don't know what it is, if it exists.

#1 Nope. error handling must be done on a procedure by procedure basis.

#2 Use the Err object to get the error number, description, etc.
