Hi Viv.

Looks like your code works the way I expected mine to work. After doing some looking I found that my base custom class had an error method in it. Taking that out fixed this problem but caused many other problems. I can't seem to be able to override or hide the error() method (any ideas?) so I will have to re-factor my code so I can have a base class that does not have an error() method.

Thanks for your help.

>It should. But it you only want to handle it in the calling method that should happen automatically without needing to specifically CATCH and THROW.. Where does the execution path in your code vary from this:

SET STEP ON
>=completewhere();

>FUNCTION completewhere()
>TRY
>  retParm()
>CATCH TO loError
>  =MESSAGEBOX("retParm() Caught")
>ENDTRY
>TRY
>  retParm2()
>CATCH
>  =MESSAGEBOX("retParm2() Caught")
>ENDTRY
>ENDFUNC

>FUNCTION retParm()
>TRY
>  ERROR 1
>CATCH TO loError
>  MESSAGEBOX("Catch in retParm()")
>  THROW loError
>ENDTRY
>ENDFUNC
>
>FUNCTION retParm2()
>ERROR 1
>ENDFUNC
