Hi Michael,

I don't know if this is feasible in your scenario, but you could write your error handler as a class and instantiate it in your application object or it could be part of your application object ( but some would say this would violate some aspects of OOP ). :-) At any rate, once the error object is instantiated or your error function(s) are part of your application object, then you would have to make a single call from the control(s)'s Error event. Any speciail processing for a specific error(s) for a specific control could be handled directly in the control(s)'s Error event. Not saying this is the only way, but it should give you food for thought. There may also be documents in the UTKB on this issue. There is also exdellent information on error handling on Doug Hennig's web site including documentation and examples.
