judy,

I'll bet you didn't have anything in the error handler. First, I suggest that you read MS KB article Q187908 on how to use COMRETURNERROR(). Second, to get you up and running now, try the following in the object's error event:

LPARAMETERS nError, cMethod, nLine
     
LOCAL lcmsg
lcmsg = TRANSFORM(nError) + ": " +;
  MESSAGE() + " on line " + TRANSFORM(nLine)
COMRETURNERROR(cMethod, lcmsg)
RETURN

It might help you track down the problem.
