Michael,

If there is no code in the Error method anywhere along the inheritance tree of an object the ON ERROR handler will trap it. If there is code in the inheritance tree it will trap the error. The containership of the form doesn't automatically mean that all of it's controls will route their errors to the form error.

If you put code in your lowest level subclasses Error method then each control will catch it's own errors. By putting it in the subclass you don't have code it in every instance. I use a udf and the error method in my baseclasses is just: ObjError( this, nError, cMethod, nLine ) In the ObjError() udf I can do whatever I want with the error. In ObjError you could use the object reference and pass the error on to the parent containership object.
