Visual Basic :: Error Handler

Error Handler For Database -why Does It Always Go To Error Handler When There Is No Error?
I have setup an error handler on my Form_load of several forms:

It looks like this:
Code:
On Error GoTo Form_load_error

'lines of code

Form_load_error:

Select Case (Err.number) -2147467259
Case 0
If Err.Description = "Unspecified error" Then
MsgBox ("Do something")
End If

Case Else
MsgBox Err.Description
End Select

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Err.Clear
End If

Exit Sub

End Sub

What I cant understand is that, I had not setup an error handler on my form_load before this...

The form loaded fine and there were no errors.

but now, everytime I try to open the form, I get a blank MsgBox first with only an okay button (and no message obviously). So I commented out the line:
Code:
Case Else
'MsgBox Err.Description <---- commented this line out
End Select

And that stopped the blank MsgBox from being displayed...

BUT!
I can't afford to take this out! What happens if an error other than the one specified occurs? It has to go to the Case Else.

So I NEED that line in there or something like that...

But how do I get it to stop displaying that silly blank MsgBox before every form_load ?

Can anyone understand what is causing it ?

Thanks

Declaring An Error Handler / On Error GoTo In The General Declarations?
Ive been reading in books that somehow you can declare an On Error GoTo ErrorHandlerProcedure in a forms general declarations, and also to declare the actual error handler itself in the general declarations...

But when I tried this it didnt work!

It didnt show an example, but I'm guessing its written the same way as you'd normally write an On Error GoTo and the Error Handler, but maybe I'm wrong?

Can anyone please help by giving me an example of how its done?

Thanks

Is It Possible To Setup A Global Error Handler For A Specific Error?
Im wondering is it possible to setup a global error handler?

Quite often my system is coming up with the error:

Error -2147467259 - Unspecified error

which keeps pointing to the database connection db.open line...

and I am wanting to setup an error handler that will handle this error by prompting the user to shutdown the system (with a yes/no).

The only problem is - this error number is generic.... and matches a lot of other errors...

is there any way which I can also say if the string "Unspecified error" also matches - to run my error handler ?

And can someone please tell me how & where I declare this to make it a global error handler? (ie. one that is called no matter where in the program this error is thrown?)

thanks.

Unspecified Error Not Being Handled By VB Application Error Handler
I have a VB 6.0 application running as a service on a Win 2000 server. The VB application has an error routine that writes the error to the event log, then restarts itself. I have noticed over the past several days, that there has been an error thrown by the application, which doesn’t seem to go thru the error handling routine, thus the application doesn’t restart. The error is the ubiquitous ‘Unspecified Error’. The error that appears in the event log is:

The VB Application identified by the event source logged this Application VBEasyLinkInterface: Thread ID: 3148 ,Logged: MsgBox: , Run-time error '-2146949859 (8008251d)':

Unspecified error

Any ideas as to why the application doesn’t seem to be handling the error would be appreciated.

Handling Error's Inside An Error Handler - How?
Looking for some insight on proper error handling. How would one handle errors that might (for some reason or other) occur within the error handling routine itself, so a program crash can be prevented?

Suppose I have the following Routine;

Code:
Public Function ReadSomeValue(intSomeValue as Integer)

On Error GoTo ErrorHandle1

intSomeValue = intLocationA_Data

Exit Function

ErrorHandle1:
intLocationA_Data = intLocationZ_Data ' Assuming intLocation_Z had corrupt or invalid data for some unknown reason
Resume next

End Function

Capture Runtime Error As Error Handler
Does anyone know how I could go about and do this? I have a program I wrote that inserts stuff into sql, and it gives an error when it hits a duplicate, and I would like to capture that error and save it to a log or something. The error I get is

"run-time error '-2147217873(80040e2f)';"

but I dont know how to deal with them, besides a nice On Error Resume Next

Add An Error Handler
I would like to add an error handler to the code bellow

If the entered data is not a valid date format, msgbox “please reenter the date”, else, msgbox “error” when the error is cause by an invalid date, it should reopen the input box.

Sub InsertDate()

Dim RECORDCOUNT
Dim USERDATE As Date

RECORDCOUNT = Sheets(1).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

Columns("B:B").Insert SHIFT:=xlToRight

Dim RPOS
RPOS = "B" & RECORDCOUNT
Range(RPOS).Select

USERDATE = InputBox("Enter the desired Transaction Date in MM/DD/YYYY format.", "Transaction Dates")
Range(RPOS).Value = USERDATE

Dim strFILL
RPOS = "B" & RECORDCOUNT - 1
strFILL = "B1:" & RPOS

Range(strFILL).Select
Range(strFILL).Value = USERDATE
End Sub

Can anyone please help me?
I appreciate your help
Thank you

Bad Error Handler?
Can anyone figure-out why this error handler isn't working?

Code:
Public Sub Try_This()
Dim XlApp As Excel.Application
Dim sql As String
Set MyConn = New ADODB.Connection
MyConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=T:My_Table.mdb;"
MyConn.Open
Set XlApp = New Excel.Application
sql = "SELECT * FROM Regions"
Set MyRecSet = MyConn.Execute(sql, 0, -1)
Do Until MyRecSet.EOF = True
My_Region = MyRecSet.Fields("Region")
XlApp.Workbooks.Open FileName:="T:" & My_Region & ".xls"
'create PDF (try to find a good "Ne**")
saved_printer = XlApp.ActivePrinter
Ne = -1
NewNe:
Ne = Ne + 1
If Ne >= 100 Then
MsgBox "Problem finding printer.", 64, "Printer Error"
Exit Sub
End If
If Len(Ne) = 1 Then
MyNe = "0" & Ne
Else
MyNe = Ne
End If
On Error GoTo NewNe 'THIS WORKS FIRST TIME THROUGH (on 1st error), BUT NOT AFTER THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XlApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF on Ne" & MyNe & ":"
XlApp.ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:= _
"Adobe PDF on Ne" & MyNe & ":", Collate:=True

'close Excel workbook
XlApp.Workbooks("" & My_Region & ".xls").Close
MyRecSet.MoveNext
Loop
XlApp.ActivePrinter = saved_printer 'change printer back
XlApp.Quit

'FREE MEMORY
Set XlApp = Nothing

MsgBox "PDF files created.", 64, "Done!"
End Sub

The ON ERROR piece works only on the first run through (it goes up to the label), but seems to be ignored on the second. It crashes on the line:
Code:
XlApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF on Ne" & MyNe & ":"
where MyNe = "01" with the error:"Run-time error '1004': Method 'ActivePrinter' of object'_Application' failed."

Why Can't One Have An Error Handler Within An Error Handler?
I have read it in the documentation that you can't have an error handler within an error handler. I suppose what is meant is:

sub A()
On Error Goto ErrHandler
'code
exit sub
ErrHandler:
On Error Goto ErrHandler2
'code
Resume

ErrHandler2:
'code
End Sub

Without this what could happen if an error occured in an error handler?

Hi
I am having a problem with error handler. I have an input box which pops up and requests a file name from the a: drive, which will cause error 71 if the disk isn't in the drive. It begins reading the disk and then gives a runtime error , error 5, rather than error 71. If i chnge my Elseif statement to read Elseif = 5, then error 71 is caught by my else statement. First of all why isnt my else staement cathcing error 5, and why doesnt my Elseif statement work.

Hopefully i was clear enough.
Thanks

Code:

filenam = InputBox("Enter a File Name")
Open "a: " For Input As #1

.....

ElseIf Err = 71 Then

resp = MsgBox("Drive door is open make sure it is closed", vbAbortRetryIgnore, , "Error")

If resp = vbIgnore Then
Resume Next
ElseIf resp = vbAbort Then
Exit Sub
ElseIf resp = vbRetry Then
Resume
End If

Else

MsgBox "Error " & Err & " has occured " & Error & vbCrLf & "Please contact the Program Designer"
Exit Sub

I want a error handle to be wrapped around a submit button that calls another form so if there is a problem in the loading of that form it will rollback and revert back to the error handle from the other form.

I tried putting the error handle in the form load but if the form load errors out and hits the error I cant unload the form I get a error after the load finishes saying form already unloaded.

Error Handler
Hello,

I have a problem I can't figure out. I have some code that has the following:

While (some condition)

On Error Goto FormatError

date = DateValue(nextDate)
....
....
....

FormatError:

MsgBox "Formatting Error"

Loop

The first time through the loop, if there is an error, then the message box is displayed. However, the second time through if the nextDate value is invalid, then I get a runtime error saying type mismatch! Why does it goto the error handler the first time, but not the second?

Thanks.

Hi All,
In my application i am having chat module.My functionality is whenever a user calls me for a chat it will load a form in my application.When i have opened the commondialog control(Open dialog box) in my application to select a file and the same time if some other user calls me for chat it will try to open a new form and i get the error "Can't display a non-modal form when a modal form is displayed".To overcome this problem i have added a error handler which tracks the error number and says the user to unload the modal window.
My problem is the application doesn't recognize the error handler and it crashes.What should i do to overcome this problem.The error handler i have used is

ERROR HANDLER
Dear Everyone.

Thanks everyone who replied me about Crystal reports. Now I have another question.

Is it possible to send back an error msg generated in a called procedure from the interface?

example

From the interface i call a method on the domain, and it calls another method which has an error handler, but i need to go back to the interface to display a msg to the user indicating that there was an error.

is it like Java, or the error msg is just for the class which has the error handler?

Thanks a lot

Error Handler
I have an error handler that I use extensively. However most of the times I just want to be able to inform the user of the error and then move on. Sometime I save info on errors too. However they way that my error handler works now is that it terminates the program when an error is being detected. Please help me modify it so that it “tolerates” mistakes and just warns the user of the error.

My code is:

Public Sub mainProgram()
…..
On Error GoTo Handler
Exit Sub

Handler:

Select Case Err.Number
Case 600
Msgbox(“Error type 102”)
Case 601
Msgbox(“fatal error!)
………
Case Else
End Select
End Sub

And in a sub somewhere in the code e.g. :
If x > 10 then
Msgbox(“Wrong!”)
Err.raise 601
End if

As you can see if error occurs the error handler is called and when the code for current error is finished the macro ends. Instead I want to call the handler, do whatever it is I want to do for a certain error but then continue in the sub where I left with the error. Please help me out! Thank you very much in advance!

Error Handler
Hi everyone ... I should be able to figure this out, but I keep coding myself in circles
I have dozens of textboxes that I convert to Currency in a seperate module.
The problem is that not all these are mandatory inputs, so the Convert function ends up with a TypeMisMatch error '13', because it is being passed an empty string "".
What I would like to do is within this module change any empty string to 0.
Due to validation routines and other controls being visible if certain textboxes <> "", I cannot just set the text property to 0.
I can capture the error, but cannot figure out an elegant way to change the emptystring to 0, and i KNOW its going to end up very simple!!

Thanks in advance

Error Handler
In a huge application in most procedures and functions the error handling is done this way:

private MyProc()
on error GoTo Err_Handler
'.............
'..............
'Body of procedure or function
Exit Sub
Err_Handler:
ErrObject.OneOfMethods(Parameter)
End Sub

ErrObject is an object with many methods. ErrObject itself very often is a source for error, because either ErrObject was not created by some reason, or something wrong with parameters and so on.
Any idea, how to make Error Handling better?
Thank you.

Error Handler Only Works Once
Hi,

I have a little program that backs up a file to another location. If the file is open, it's supposed to wait and try again. Unfortunately, my error handler only seems to work once, then on the second try in copying the file VB6 comes up with a dialog box with Error 70, Permission Denied. I've Added 3 different statements trying to disable the error handler then re-enable it, but I still get the same result. It almost seems like Visual Basic is automatically trying to avoid a loop condition.

I have a VB resource online that I've searched, plus MSDN, and haven't found any other reference for my situation. I wonder if I totally need to rewrite my code and call the filecopy as a function or something, but I'm not too sure on how to do that. I'm hoping someone has the answer to this problem.

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strDestination As String
Dim strDate As String
Dim PauseTime, Start
strDate = Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yy")
strDestination = "S:AdministrativeMACBackupMACLOG2004 Backup " & strDate & ".xls"
RetryCopy:
On Error GoTo CopyError
If Dir(strDestination) = "" Then _
FileCopy "S:AdministrativeMACMACLOG2004.xls", strDestination
SetAttr strDestination, vbReadOnly
End
CopyError:
'delay and retry the copy
PauseTime = 5
Start = Timer
Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
DoEvents
Loop
On Error GoTo 0
Err.Clear
GoTo RetryCopy
' Resume still generates Permission Denied on 2nd try
End Sub

Global Error Handler
does anybody know how to find out when an error occurred so instead of displaying a msgbox with the error and then exiting the program i could just exit the function/sub/...

Error Handler Problem
hihi my vb friends.
im making a very basic calculator, and all has been going fine. Then i decided i wanted the screen to display "MATH ERROR" if the person did a division by zero. i decided to sum up all errors with the same display. this is the code i used.

...think this is how u get it to display in vb form...

Code:
Private Sub Equals_Click()
If Screen <> "MATH ERROR" Then
Part2 = Screen
On Error GoTo Errhandler
If Equation = "+" Then
Screen = Val(Part1) + Val(Part2)
ElseIf Equation = "-" Then
Screen = Val(Part1) - Val(Part2)
ElseIf Equation = "/" Then
Screen = Val(Part1) / Val(Part2)
ElseIf Equation = "*" Then
Screen = Val(Part1) * Val(Part2)
End If
Errhandler:
MsgBox ("bing")
Else
calculator.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

This has been changed slightly so it brings up a mesage box, instead of error, just to illistrate the problem. The code brings up the msgbox if an error occurs, but it also brings up the msgbox, no matter what calculation i do. I have tried moving the errhandler around to different places, but it keeps coming up. why? Is this some really obvious mistake?

Thanks in advance!!

Simple Error Handler Q
Hi all,

In my error handler, I would like to include the name of the function itself, and perhaps the line number of the line that caused the error. I have searched the forum and found that there was someone who said that they do this, but there was no code or instructions about how.

Is there a way to get the name of the current function (or sub), and is there a way to get the line number of the error line so that I can put it in my log file? I have an error I need to track down better than I have been...

I know I could set a variable at the start of each function and set it to be the function name manually, and then use that variable in my error handler, but I was hoping for some generic way so that a find & replace could put it in all my log file statements in my error handlers in all my functions quickly.

Thanks in advance.

'Progress bar adjustment
Call showpercent

'Show Balance AMount
Call BalanceAmount

Call TextBoxAdjust

ComboBox Error Handler
We all know that a dropdown list Combobox ( Style 2 ) cannot set its Text property to a value that is not already containded in its list. Example : If I try to set Combo1.Text = "WhoCares" and that "WhoCares" is not in the Combo1 List, it will generate an error. Is there a way to avoid this error, even by adding the "WhoCares" value to the list before the error occurs?
Thanx

How Can I Use An Error Handler With The Webrowser
VB 5.0. learning edition.
Hi,
I use error handlers in my App. When I use the webrowser control to open a file (*.html or *.ppt) on the cd-rom, if the the cd is not in the drive, I have only the message "Navigation cancelled" without more error. Such behaviour is not trap by the error handler:
On error goto "errhandler"
WebBrowser1.Navigate MyCD & ":/pres/mystere.html"
How can i trap such an error (file not found on the cd-rom with the webrowser).
Thanks,

Global Error Handler
I have an extensive program for my work and I'm having a runtime error that has to do with connection time out error (error -2147467259). I know how to fix the error but the program is so extensive that putting an "On error GoTo" would have to go in every subroutine where I have a connection to the database. Does anyone know how to do a global error handler where anytime I get that specific error and fix it without imputting an error handler in evry subroutine. I tried some API stuff, but thats about the same as the VB error handler.
Thanks.

Error Handler: Do Something And Return To Try Again
Hi all,

I've been using basic error handlers for virtually my entire programming career (which hasn't been long mind you). I now have a program that may need something a bit more advanced that I have never done before. Here's what I currently do (no exact, just close):

Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
On error goto err_handle
'This is the line: blah

exit sub

err_handle:
Select case err.number
case x 'x being an error number of course. Multiple cases to trap them all
End select

End Sub

So as it is now, if line "blah" grabs an error, it's trapped, but then the user has to click the button again to try again. What I want to do is, when the error hits, move to the handler and run the fix code, but then jump back up and try the line again automatically. I can make it so that it doesn't end up in an endless loop in case the fix code doesn't work, but I just don't know how to let it loop back up. I know I've seen something, but I can't remember where I saw it.

Thanks!

Global Error Handler
Is it possible to create a global error handler?

Basically I don't like error handlers because they don't allow me to debug code properly. However once my project is ready to be compiled, it would be nice to have error handlers, rather than put a seperate error handler in every sub and function (I have hundreds), I would like to be able to have a single error handler that can be jumped to in errors anywhere. But I don't want to have to write 'on error goto' at the top of every script. Can I write an 'on error goto' that will have global scope somewhere?

Error Handler Not Working
What I am tryng to do is everytime you press a command button, it will scroll through each record in the database...this works very nicely, but if there are no records currently in the database, an error will occur. To deal with this, I used a Error Handler, but for some reason I still get the error. Please assist me if you know what is going wrong here, thanks
Here is the code...

Private Sub cmdNext_Click()
Dim msg As Variant

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
MyRecSet.MoveNext

txtSpawnNr = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Spawn Number")
txtViralbot = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Viralbot Type")
txtQualitylvl = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Viralbot Quality Level")
txtUpgrade = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Upgrade Type")
txtUpgradeql = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Upgrade Quality Level")
txtGen = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("General Name")
Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
On Error Resume Next
On Error GoTo 0
If MyRecSet.EOF = True Then
MyRecSet.MoveFirst ' is highlighted on error
If Err.Number = 3021 Then
msg = MsgBox("Database is Empty", vbOKOnly, vbExclamation, "Error")
Exit Sub
End If

On Error GoTo 0
txtSpawnNr = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Spawn Number")
txtViralbot = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Viralbot Type")
txtQualitylvl = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Viralbot Quality Level")
txtUpgrade = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Upgrade Type")
txtUpgradeql = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("Upgrade Quality Level")
txtGen = MyRecSet.Fields.Item("General Name")

End If
Exit Sub
End Sub
