I checked error codes 1105,1554,1736 but as I mentioned previously, my ERROR HANDLER procedure is not being invoked at all. VFP must consider this more of a notification than an error.

Maybe your form (or form class) has something in its error methods. If it has, it will fire before any general On Error routine. Why don't you put a simple Wait window in form.error, to start with?
