Error Handling? (Runtime 75)

[Mattyl110792]

Hey,

I havn't been here for years, and i've only just now got Visual Basic back onto my computer for something different. I am just creating a little program to find and replace text. It's a very simple program, and I am having trouble finding how to handle the runtime error 75 that occurs. My command button loads a file into the RTC (Rich Textbox), and when the file doesn't exist I want it to give a Msg or similar, but it just errors and crashes. What do I need to put for the error handling??

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    On Error GoTo ErrorRoutine

    ' your code

    Exit Sub

ErrorRoutine:

    If Err.Number = 75 Then
        ' do what you want
    End If
    
End Sub

A general error handler may look similar to this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()

On Error GoTo ErrHandler

    'main code goes here

    Exit Sub

ErrHandler:

    'you may have select case err.Number here
    'or Err.Clear
    'you may also (if necessary) display message box with err.description (MsgBox Err.Description)
    'and/or Resume or Resume Next
    'and/or Exit Sub 'or function

    'etc, etc, etc...

End Sub
