[AccessD] vbWatchdog error handler

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Dan and John

I must say, I’ve never understood the need for extensive error handling.
We test our applications very carefully, thus errors are extremely rare and certainly not happening on a daily basis.

Hi John,

I used this up until about 5 years ago.  It's an excellent addition, and much more than worth the money.  Set up a table to store the error data, create a report that shows that data, and set up a daily email so you'll know of any errors that occurred yesterday at each of your customers.  Or you can set up an immediate email for any error or if a certain type of error occurs.

This will display a lot of the code from the erroring procedure, the values of all the variables in the erroring procedure, and the name of the procedure which called the erroring procedure.  Great stuff!

Dan

PS - I miss Arthur's comments.  You could sort of tell what was going on in his life every time he posted.

I've looked at it a bit.  Seems worth buying given the level of programming behind the scenes.  I was really just looking for one of us using it to comment.
