Please check out Borislav's response to this thread, I used his codes and added equivalent VARTYPE() calls, the 4th call of TYPE() which return a U, generate an error when replaced by VARTYPE().

VARTYPE() will error if you're checking an object and its property where the object doesn't exist yet, or has been released. It will work for checking just an object, but it doesn't handle the multilevel checking that TYPE() does.
