Hi Bret Try the following

.....
   PROCEDURE Method1
     Local llCont as Boolean, loEx as Exception
     llCont = .t.
     DO WHILE llCont
     	TRY     
            This.Open()
            llCont = .f.
        CATCH TO loEx
            IF loex.ErrorNo = 1748
        	EXIT
            ELSE
        	THROW loEx
            ENDIF
       	ENDTRY
     ENDDO
   ENDPROC
....

>What I have is a Method in a COM that calls another procedure. This procedure is generating an error that Microsoft says is erroneous and just to RETRY the command after the error. With error handling in a COM being somewhat confusing to me. I would like some education on the best way to do this. The below prg is set up basically like what I need. Method1 calls another Method that opens the database. What I would like to do is to place code around the This.Open() call that would somehow trap for an error number 1748 and when this happens to RETRY the command again. I would like this trap to not interfere with any other method or error trapping that is already in place. If anyone has a solution for this or input I would appreciate any input.
