Methinks I am not being clear today. :)

My whole objective was to avoid having to write a procedure to handle the error. Because this isn't a global error handler, and only used by a snippet of code, I wanted to just have the error assigned to a global variable and process it within the snippet itself.

Since there is apparently no built-in function to retrieve the error message, and I know no way to assign different values to two variables in the same line, I'll just write the error handler program.

Thanks,

Michelle
