Hi,

Do you think it is a good practice to enclose every case where the code opens a form (sample code below) with the Try Catch?
local oForm
oForm = newobject('my_form','my_form_lib.vcx')
if type('oForm') = "O" and !isnull( oForm)
   oForm.show()
endif
If there is a problem, whatever, a run-time error happens on NewObject, so checking for type and isnull is of little help. If I enclose the entire code in Try Catch, the error will be displayed.

But I am not sure if adding so much code (in every case) is worth the 'trouble'

TIA
