trapping server side error messages

[lenin]

Hi,
does anyone know how to trap server side error messages and prevent annoying message boxes appearing. This can be done on the client with the window onError event, but I require information on how to trap say Runtime Errors.

Thanks in advance

Disable server side debugging and you won't be able to get server side msgboxes.

Server side errors generate compile errors and are sent to the html stream unless you disable them with 'on error resume next'.

You can then trap the errors by checking if Err.number <> 0 after an operation that could cause an error and handling it. You can also (highly recomended) write a error handler that is included in all your pages and called when an error occurs:

If Err.number <> 0 Then 
    call errorHandler
End If
.
.
.
Sub errorHandler
'Whatever...
End Sub
