After monitoring the error log and various other logs I created, I can now reduce the run-time errors almost to nothing. Basically, with the Try and Catch, I can prevent a run-time error and display why the program cannot open this or that form.
My only question is, what kind of language to use when showing this "error message". For example,
I can have a messagebox with the following text:
"Cannot open Parts (or another window) Windows because your computer lost connection to the
network/server. Please close the "application" and open it again right away or in a minute"
Does the above make sense (as far as the message)?
TIA
