I need it to stop at the error so I can then check the value of sundry environmental variables there and then. As soon as the vfp error code is invoked, half the environment is immediately changed, making it very awkward to figure out exactly what is going on.

I've never had problems like that. I suggest that you set a breakpoint a few lines before where you think the error is happening and step through the code one line at a time.
