Bonnie,
Thanks. I tried digging into ex before posting the original message, but I could not find anything that help. Now, after your response, I tried again, and with the same result. Probably I am missing something.
Let us try this example:
Sub Main()
Try
Dim lcfile As String = "c:\unknown.txt", _
lcfile1 As String = "find_me"
If System.IO.File.Exists(lcfile) Then
System.IO.File.Delete(lcfile)
End If
System.IO.File.Open(lcfile, IO.FileMode.Open)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.StackTrace)
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
From the ex.message I assume to get lcfile value, but how to get information about other variables, like lcfile1, and without knowing they exist?

Typically I only show the Exception's Message and StackTrace properties, but there are more properties of the Exception class that you could show. I played around with it for a few minutes, and this seemed useful (C# code, but you should be able to get the right VB syntax with no problem):
